Yep, seen a few 80s throwback things, but that one does feature the vast majority of what I held dear as a kid. I wouldn't swap it with today's digital world for all the tea in China. If you weren't there, you'd never have a hope of understanding that sentiment.

True

Kids now stay in and play an xbox or playstation, When I was a nipper I wasn't allowed to stay in. Everyday was a mini adventure, everyday I would go home with a face blacker than a darkie in a coal mine but that's just how it was back then, I woulden't swap it for the world.

We used to play hide and seek with a few square miles of hiding places, two teams and would usually last all day, you would always have a team member hanging around the other teams homes around lunch time in case they tried sneaking back to feed that's why the fat kids were picked last, they always let the side down

We used to scour back gardens looking for prams that had been thrown away so we could salvage the wheels! Thin rope for the steering though, we used to turn the front axle just a bit and then lean to make the turn.

And you never thought about fitting a brake until AFTER the 1st downhill test run !

Everything was outside wasnt it ! World Cup - footballs out , Wimbeldon - Tennis rackets came out , the list is endless. You used to say to your mates "you comming out ?" thats something different these days !

Its the computer age that doomed future generations , i was pretty bad pre-teenage on Commadore 64 to start with , then Sega Master System , Sega Megadrive, Sony Playstation , PS2 , Xbox 360. Sold the Commadore and Sega a few years ago still in full working order so fired them up and it was like i never stopped playing them.
