Things you suddenly are reminded of from your childhood

[ken]

for me it's windy days when it's the concor season, always remember going to "the concor tree" and taking spa bags and collecting as many as I could carry, and play against mates and me brother

Also certain shades of yellow as I used to have a pedal car that I loved in that colour... but the bigger boys took it of me and threw it in the electric station compound... stewards

What brings back memories for you?

Certain smells take me back quicker than any imagery I think.
I can catch a smell of something and it will take me to a time and place from my childhood, sometimes I get goose bumps.

Other kids playing reminds me of days gone by..…I saw some the other day walking to my sisters flat.
The little girl was riding a push along car, she drove into the small boys legs quite hard.
Girl - “You have to move!” (reaching to push him)
Boy – “No!”
Girl – “I hate you”

Awww, that takes me back.

Fry's Orange creams.

Used to get one once in a blue moon after tea. I think its more memorable because it was a rare occurence.

Wham, Duran Duran and The Frog Chorus also figure...

Soda Streams. The clunking and fizzing... 2 hours work for a slightly gazzy bottle of watery stuff
A roll of sticking plaster. Not the waterproof sort. The stretchy one that looks like it's made of material. The smell of it and everything, (was always falling over and hurting my knees). Many a time I sat on the kitchen table, while my Mum or Dad bandaged up another future scab Ripe for the picking
Chalk. Reminds me of playing hop-scoth on the pavement outside my house
Oil of Cloves. Used on me by my Mum for toothaches. God knows why. Sitting in front of the fire, early hours of the morning, ofc on the tooth, holding a warmed cushion to the affected cheek to try and ease the pain

The Beano and Refresher Bars!

Does anyone remember those little bug toys with sticky feet, and if you put them at the top of a window they would wriggle they're way to the bottom? Those were so cool! Cheap at only 20p as well from those little capsule vender thingys

I always will remember the rubber domes that you could get with crisps and you pushed them down and they jumped in the air.
Also POGS were the best, what a game
Seems so long ago but it was only 5 years.

Childhood memories eh, well any time I see a tree I'm reminded of when I fell a good 10-15ft out of one just after eating a choccy bar, was concussed and threw the chocolate bar up on the way home.

Brick walls, There used to be an alleyway across the road from my childhood home and I frequently used to walk along the brick walls in the alley, one day I tripped and split the bottom of my chin open.... I can still picture the doctors face in a&e stitching the bloody thing back up.... I screamed like a banshee...

Wardrobes, 3 months after my chin had healed up from the above accident I scaled the behemoth wardrobe in my mums bedroom to get at something on top... The floor wasnt too even and the wardrobe came crashing down on top of me splitting my chin open for the second time...

Honestly I used to be a walking accident.... thank god that phase has passed!!!

Chocolate crunch with chocolate source. Simply the best!

Also watching cartoons that were on when I was little.

I do remember tazos
I remember they did some strange sqaure ones once that you could slot together, the movie Deep Impact gave me the inspiration to build the space ship out of tazos and 'the square ones'. It didn't resemble the space ship in anyway but it kept me entertained

Free things that came with crisps were the best

Now this is a weird thing for me.

The smell of Jam Sandwiches that have been wrapped in tin foil.

It seems to have a unique smell and taste, which makes them taste so much better.

Always reminds me of my first day at primary school.

I know, weird.

Beano comics is another one. I still have my first one somewhere. I remember getting it, it was 1998 and I was at swimming lessons and after I had finished my mum had a beano comic for me. It was black on the front and had stars on it (and obviously some characters)
I also remember that I folded the comic in half lol

[Dawnkeebaws]

Certainly not childhood, but early youth was a time easily recalled.

You know what I'm saying guys.....you always had to smell your finger afterwards !

AHhH......I can smell it now !
