They would get some industrial strength shampoo from the chemist which smelled like sheep dip. Probably was sheep dip tbh! The smell off that stuff would nearly knock you out. Nobody questioned it, nobody thought it was humiliating to line up children and pick out those with nits. Different times :pac: Do school kids still get their hair checked in school by the public health nurse?

Kids loved nature, kids stayed out in the rain and loved it. We lit fire's, cooked on those fire's, dad would build a tree house and if you fell out of it tough ****. Someone would only claim compensation if they were badly injured. Ah yes the 70's and 80's a great decade for real men. Men were supposedly better than women lol

I was brought to Dublin Airport Control Tower regularly as my parents were friends with Chief air traffic controller Tom Donovan, and developed a huge interest in aviation, which I have to thus day. As a little girl I adored all things mechanical, and LEGO was my favourite toy out of which I built interesting little houses. My mother always had to tell people to give me boys toys when they suggested giving me a birthday or Christmas present. As a teenager I also loved boys and putting on make-up. When looming a future career prospect I was absolutely outraged about the male/female pay differential. Mother used to try and explain it by saying men most often had to pay for raising a family. This didn’t cut the mustard, I said some men do not raise a family and remain single, and some women likewise don’t marry and equally need to buy a place for themselves to live. She said indeed that’s very true, your aunt didn’t marry and she was refused a mortgage as a single woman, even though the mortgage would have been less than the rent she is paying.” And of course it wasn’t so long since women had to cease working once they got married, but as a little kid I thought this was cool enough as I loved having my mother at home. Though she did run her own small business from her house and was always very busy.

They used to warn you on RTE not to be alarmed if you turned on your radio to hear fallout reports in the middle of the night (well, not that night.) Remember the old weather maps drawn with a marker? I remember seeing one of those with fallout predictions drawn on it one night, after normal programmes had finished.
