Playing gates in the street, and then arguing with the old biddies as they would tell us to get away from there gate and play on our own gates, and how I have forgot about garden hoping, as soon as it’s dark trying to do the length of the street over the back fences, always would be 1 our 2 tough gardens, and the buzz of having to sit dead still when someone turns there kitchen light on and then out of there like the flash as soon as a chance arouse

Wearing second or third hand clothes, including brown tank tops and Rupert the bear flares.

Crawling through pipes under roads.
Egging the buses.
Scrumping.
Stealing pick ‘n’ mix at Woolworths.
Being lost in M&S after hiding in a clothes rail.

Back street football. Classic cuppy singles or doubles, because there was always an odd number of you playing so couldn't have normal football with two goals.

And then BBC 2 from 6pm. Star Trek, Simpsons, Sliders, Fresh Prince and so on.
