Film trailers at the cinema.
Lomg before the internet where seeing a trailer was your first glimpse of any new movie. Lights fully down too. Class.
Live footy on the telly, especially once in a blue moon when we'd get one of our away matches on ITV on a Sunday afternoon.

A lot of the things that got me excited as a kid still get me excited now. Of the things I’ve stopped doing —
Climbing trees
Rope swings off trees
Making fires in the woods
Making dens
Jumping off walls

Being allowed to go to work with my dad on a Saturday morning, learning to weld at 12, driving dumpers, JCBs tarmac machines etc. Also getting £10 for my "graft" too.

Pann lane as well if the auld rumours were true.
Still getting launched up to 1988 and you never seen one? Too busy finger blasting chicks in your rs2000?

That's what I recall most vividly, the groans of the huge chains uwinding and the smell of burning grease on the slipway. Magnificent.

You should stop living in the past mate.For me...
Going into the garden at night with a torch.
Waiting for 'The Goodies' to come on.
Hearing the Ice Cream van coming on route.
Running and jumping along paving stones, trying not to touch the lines and cracks.
Going to a disco.
Setting my Hornby train set up.
Climbing trees.
Watching the waves of a rough sea splashing against Seaburn, Ryhope and Hendon coast.
The Rolls Royce
Winger
James Bond films showing up on free telly. Still have some of them videotaped I'm sure. Old ad breaks included
Two Scoops
Full Back
Finding a box of matches

Using them you mean, we used to have a fire nearly every night as a kid, my mother bless her was always going off it about my stinking of fire clothes mixed with stink of sitting in downhill chippy shop for a warm in the winter. Happy days.
