What do you miss most about your childhood.

Mutant z

What i miss about my childhood is going outside to play with my friends and not having a care in the world, everything seemed to be so much simpler when you were a child without having to deal with the stress adult life brings i really miss that. Events like Halloween and Christmas were things i used to genuinely look forward to now they just simply feel like any other day, but as a kid i used to love going out trick or treating and opening my presents under the Christmas tree everything seemed so exciting then and something to look forward to but as an adult all these things pass me by practical unnoticed which is a shame, its all part of growing up i guess but i do sometimes yearn for the days of my childhood, who else feels exactly the same way.

Youth is wasted on the young. However I have 2 santa believers and the joy of the children on xmas morning reminds me of those days, we didn't have loads however the joy was amazing.

Red lemonade and playing pool in pubs a Sunday or 2 a month

Football until Dark then tip the can.

Footballers could take a tackle back then too.

Summer holidays, panini stickers, top trumps, space hoppers, crappy soda pop

Indeed people just got on with life then and didnt feel the need to get offended on behalf of others, it seems everyday now someone is offended by the most stupid trivial things and its being passed on to children, they just need to grow a pair to deal with life and stop being offended all the time.

This. I know it gets bandied about a lot but this whole "mind your P's and Q's" is incredibly annoying.

I also miss proper Dairy Milk and early90s Tanora.
There should be unhealthy options still available and it's up to you to go buy them. Fcking Nanny State.

Milk deliveries to your door

Its easy to look back and only remember the good things. It was actually pretty crap if you think about it.
You can't drive
You have to go to school
Homework

Swimming in the local river in all kinds of weather. Climbing trees. Fishing a lot. Cycling around aimlessly. Robbing apples. Graffiti. Playing pool.

I guess I can do all of that still but I just never get the time.
