When I was Young

[Skudd]

A mars bar was a meal, you could nibble all the thick chocolate from the outside first then eat the rest.

Comedy was funny, not cutting edge.

Saturday nights had some good tv on.

You used to get half day closing on a Tursday

Car parks on a Sunday were empty.

You had to learn knowledge and not just google it.

Gravel paths were fun on a push bike.

getting lost was an adventure

You could play cars on the back window shelf while your parents drove the car.


Girls were just a pest

No one was gay, just odd

On the other hand there was bugger all on the telly in the early mornings or after midnight, just a poxy test card or static.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

WHEN I WAS
A YOUNG BOY... (continue song)

I remember being yelled at by my Mother to get off the internet because she needed to use the phone, good old dialup. !

For those who know what I'm talking about, if you nostalgia, you lose.

Playing pogs and Pokémon in the playground at school, great fun.

Loads more, so many good memories. !

Also, Alpha, the local Chinese here sells deep fried Mars bars and we live in Bristol, South West England. They sell them everywhere nowadays.

Also, as far as I know, they will deep fry any chocolate bar you take in, like a Bounty/Snickers etc. .

Ahh the good old days, where the logic goes, the further back in time the better.

I will go live in the precambrian then.

When I was young..

Mopeds had pedals

'five pounds of four star please" meant a fortnights commuting for dad in his Viva.

No-one worried if you went to play at the gravel pits or on a building site.

Computers only existed in 'Star Trek'

Shirt collars were often longer than ties.

The telly gave out more heat than the coal fire.

The kenney Everitt Radio Show made getting out of bed on a Saturday worthwhile.
