What was fun when you were a bairn?

Making go karts
Tarzan swings
Playing Doctors and nurses
Kiss cuddle or torture
Riding my chopper bike
Playing out from early.morning, until dark at night
Making camps in derelict houses
Watching cartoons on tv
Climbing trees
Swimming in ponds
Drinking Cresta pop, and eating Chipmunk crisps
Not having a care in the world.
Fighting with kids from other streets
Chocolate bars that actually tasted of chocolate.
Its a knockout on telly
Eating chips fried in beef dripping
Sneaking into the pictures, via a back door, or open window
Making bonfires
Going to friends birthday parties
Opening birthday and Christmas prezzies
School trips
Reading comics

It was quite common to find a wank mags. Lay byes were good places, lorry drivers would throw them out.

White dog shit was true, it was something to do with the chemicals they put in the dog food back in the day iirc.

Those were the days, eh? I'm not sure I've ever seen a wank mag except on a top shelf of a service station. Never seen anyone buy one. Then again I've had internet for more than half my life.
 
Using an ICI plastic sack to sledge down the pit heaps when it had been snowing. Did it for years until my mate ripped his arse cheek on a broken bottle. Knocked it on the head after that.

Kids these days will never understand what it was like to find a wank mag in a lay by, hedge etc.

The hard part was getting past the pages stuck together.

I was like Morgan Freeman at the end of Shawshank Redemption when he finds the little box left by Dufraine.......

First rule was to find a good hiding place for it that non of the other lads would find


Kick the can was a great game.. two sides...a tennis ball, empty can and 4 matchsticks......hours of fun

Who wants a game if japs and English
Making Dutch arrows
Fires in the woods by the Tyne, cooking sausages
Riding me bike all over the place
Coming home covered in clarts
Playing cricket with those gloves with the green cones on
Discovering Space Dust
The badges you hit with Clark’s Comando shoes
