Getting meat delivered to your door by the butcher on a cast iron bike with a metal basket on the front.
Electric milk floats. I worked for a milkman and if you live in the High Barnes/Chesters area I problies delivered your milk between 1978 and 1981.
Tradesman like butchers, milkmen, housepainters always wearing ties.
Going with me Mam to pick me Dad up from work at Coles Cranes and trying to pick him out from the crowd.
Me auntie taking us to look for starfish at fisherman's cove on the way to Sheels.
Hanging around the beach all afternoon and evening to wait to wave me sister off when she went on the Nevasa cruise school trip. Parents neewhere in sight.
Road trips with the family that seemed to last for ever. Six of us in a Ford Escort going to Northern Scotland, both parents chain smoking and its raining so we can't open the windows ... er ... sorry , wrong thread!
Felling or Hebburn baths on a Sunday morning (are they still there?) and the smell of beef barbecue chips and chlorine on your hands.
