    ..when I was filling out online forms and when it got to my date of birth, I didn't have to scroll down far to get to my year. Those were the good old days.

    Online forms weren't that common until fairly recently - are you aging in dog years or something?

    I remember when ads had the possibility of being just as entertaining as the tv programme. Kit kat panda bear ad has brought it all back......

    Seeing that ad was a great blast from the past. I also remember a time when ads weren't in your face as much and women weren't scantily clad to advertise the most banal product.

    I remember when there were only 8 channels on the TV. We counted the VCR as 9. :D

    I remember when you could smoke around children.

    Those were the days indeed.

    I had a great childhood.

    I remember the shock of side-boob in shower gel ads! Of course, they were usually "European"!

    I remember when 5 miles away on your bike was a new and strange place, full of wonder.

    Arthur Murphy's mailbag would have been jammed with complaints from incensed auld ones :D On the subject of VCRs I remember having to rewind them and making sure you didn't tape over something important.

    finding porn in the bushes was quite the delight

    Ah yes, then discovering that breaking that little tab prevented that! Then hearing that taping over it meant you could re-record, all through word of mouth! Google would really have come in useful back then......

    Pausing a film when a boob came out and the screen going all over the place.

    On this, I still throw my son and his friend out on nice days. They complain, but then have lots of fun when all the other kids you never see come out to join in. Sadly, it's still lovely to see when it happens, as opposed to a normal occurrence :(

    1995, the hottest summer ever. All day football marathons on a neighbours front lawn, camping out nearly every night (albeit in the back garden) and a tan that Big Fat Gypsy weddings would die for.

    I remember thinking Quicksand would be a problem I would encounter many times in my life:(

    I think with abductions of children some parents are afraid to let their kids out of their sight and coupled with more games consoles than you can shake a stick at the appeal for the outdoors isn't always there.
