Jules. Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 My dad was an avid train spotter, he even got me my own proper book in which he underlined the trains I had seen that day, or "copped" as it is known His idea of a great day out was to go to somewhere like Crewe to stand on the station, taking me & my mum with him There were no Claire's Accessories shops then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Memories.... Fishing for newts in the "swamp" down the lane Always having scabby knees and nettle stings Digging up worms to feed to the neighbour's chickens Friday treats - Friday was the only day we were allowed a chocolate bar Making crinkle-cut chips and marmalade (not together) at my Gran's house Making daisy chains that were endless Aah, happy days!

Cinnamon Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I remember when Curly Wurly & Monster Munch were really,really BIG I don't know if they have shrunk or if its just because I am bigger, but they are not nearly as impressive as they used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I remember when Curly Wurly & Monster Munch were really,really BIG I don't know if they have shrunk or if its just because I am bigger, but they are not nearly as impressive as they used to be I remember never wanting to buy a Wagon Wheel because I thought it would last for days, they really seemed enormous when I was little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I remember chasing Butterflies in the field at the end of our garden and trying to catch them using a fishing net. Running around the garden on a Summers evening not wanting to go to bed with my Dad in hot pursuit, being caught, tickled and given a pretend telling off. Buying a bag of pickled onion monster munch every Friday with my 2 pence pocket money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) Some early memories of mine - Putting my head on my Mums bump & feeling my sister kick Slathering Ambre Solaire over myself & going deep,deep brown.That smell send me right back - I can't go past it in a shop without having a sniff! Thinking only really weird people ate yogurt Ditto Mueseli Dallas,Bouquet of barbed Wire, The Dukes of Hazzard, Banana Splits,C.H.I.P.S Marc Bolan....he still has a place in my heart That horrible stick thing on Rupert Bear Jackanory Wearing jelly shoes on the beach Making fairy gardens on an old tin tray, with moss & Daisy heads Picking all the roses in the garden & crushing the petals with water to make "perfume" The smell of my Grandads Sambucca My Dads favourite "Old Jamaica" Chocolate My Mums perfume - Rive Gauche, & my Dads Aramis after shave Being allowed the merest touch of wine with a meal (watered down) when I was about 12 EVERYONE smoked!!!
