What was fun when you were a bairn?

[safcrob]

Tape recorders were one of our pleasures, we'd pop in the memorex, press record then and me and my sister would pretend to be news readers, she pretended to be her who didn't move her lips and I'd be Alistair Burnet, she would say something like "this is the news, a man ate a sausage and now he is dead" then play it back and we would giggle.

Sitting in a laundry basket (those old solid plastic ones) and being pushed down the stairs by an older sibling was f***ing class

Sledging down the hill in the estate because we actually had snow.

Eating Candy Floss at Houghton Feast which was almost as big as yourself and you'd seen the magic of it being made.

"Fishing" in the pond at Mowbray park with a bit of net attached to a cane.

Eating steaming hot chips out of newspaper walking home from my Nana's.

To name but a few.
