    Lampost swings (which ur mam would say were death traps - amount of times I must have got concussed but had to keep quiet)

    Saturday meant veg man, vidoe tape man & club milk man

    Getting 2 buses to visit ur granny

    When we did get a car - a banger fiesta & my dad putting a blanket on the engine at night to hopefully stop her freezing!

    A mouse being in our house & us all camping in the living room for a week

    Cycling our bikes for miles in the summer

    Paths Championships (or kerbs if ur posh)

    Street parties

    Summer Project

    Making daisy chains

    Making dens

    Catching frogs

    Running all the way home from school to catch the start of the den (Ian dempsey & Ray d'arcy - legends!!!)

    There are so many more I could name - Never realised how poor we were when I was a child - something I always think stands to my Mam&Dad!!!

    Being all excited when the fire brigade arrived to put neighbours' chimney fires out (at least once a month).

    Snow almost guaranteed in January.

    Friendly binmen, who rang your doorbell or jumped your gate if you forgot to put your bins out.

    Helping to push-start your neighbour's rusty Datsun Cherry.

    Stray dogs roaming the streets.

    An engine oil stain in every second driveway.

    Giving old clothes to "the tinkers" when they call.

    The old green buses that you could hear in the distance, five minutes before you could see them.

    The novelty of getting the older (and strangely quieter) buses, with blue leather seats and a string for the bell.
