listening to the police radio on the wireless
six and out during cricket if you hit the ball into the scrap yard
on days off school due to a 'holy day of obligation' going round to shout at the protestants in their schools
being guaranteed a couple days each year when the school would be closed due to the snow
the day the roof blew of St Thomas Aquinas' swimming baths meaning no swimming at school for months

Going to Marine Park in South Shields in the early hours and humping all the Mallards, Canada Geese and Coots (although your mates wouldn't come with you and stopped hanging around with you) - mental days........

Absolutely class thread this!
Finding an old drift mine down Kepier Woods, near the old viaduct and actually getting a fair way inside it. Very dangerous but fun all the same! Getting chased and bollocked by the farmer for cutting through his cow field.
Causing massive rockslides in Running Waters Quarry (again canny dangerous!)
Finding boxes of matches, and after a few unsuccesful attempts to have a fire, deciding to "Do A Genie" with it.
Building camps down the scrambles (thats the area between Belmont & Sherburn)
The Tarzy swing in the woods next to Hill Top Farm near Belmont which involved being really naughty and crossing the railway to get to.

Walking along Horden beach with my Grandad, watching the skips tip slag into the sea. Never noticed Ian Hendrie getting his come uppance though :wink:
Clambering around the Frenchman's Lea cliffs.
20 a side footy and cricket on Frenchman's Lea.
Sliding down the banking at Gypsies Green cycle track on bits of cardboard.
Dodging waves as they came crashing over Shields pier on a stormy day.
Sitting on the cliff tops at Marsden looking at Marsden Rock and thinking it must be one of the 7 wonders of the world.
Going out on a rowing boat at Durham on a sunny summer day.
Waiting for the Economic bus on the coast road to go to Roker Park.
King Charlie leading the lads out at Roker Park to the Z Cars theme tune.
The hustle and bustle of Ocean Road on a sunny summer Sunday.
Standing on the Groyne watching huge ships just launched making their way out to sea.
The smell of the roses at the tea garden in Marine Park.
When we moved over to West Cumberland, the first time I saw Wasdale and the screes reflected in the still lake.
My first summers exploring the Lake District with my family in our powder blue mk.1 Cortina, KCU 977.
