Just being outdoors , I think is the main one. Seemingly that isn't "acceptable" today by both youths or their parents.

My name is URL

Gollywog Ice-cream bars

Gummy Panda

Eating butter.

Now it's all fake hydrolysed vegetable oil spreads. Garbage!

God...

Priests molesting kids apparently.

Offering strangers lifts, Larry Murphy ruined it for everyone.

Shifting a teenage girl.

Seen a video of me when I was a kid, in the f*cking swimming pool. My da was actually allowed the video camera in to the pool, the place was packed too and I was in the baby pool. You'd do time for that kinda thing now.

Was only talking about this to a friend last night. She spent a year in NY on a transfer with the company she was working for and was saying that strangers chatted away goodo as a group on the subway every day while here everyone's ram rod straight and silent listening to their ipod on the bus.

Thumbing at the crossroads

Calling kids over to your front door and giving them money to buy you cigarettes

For reg as a number plate

Schoolyard football games and even rugby games in the ballcourt. We'd be battered and cut after lón but aye we were happy.
Compo culture ended that

Order a phone line from Telecom Éireann and at best you'd get it six weeks later.
UPC are superstars in comparison to those bad old days

Drink driving, twas the done thing and nobody cared

Smoking in the car with the kids. Yeah it still goes on but you get filthy looks from others

Kids hanging out the back of tractors and your Dad driving along
If you slip you go straight under the wheels of the trailer but sure it was normal to me, kids don't see danger

Putting children on top of a trailer of square bales for some extra weight.
Bouncing around way up there with your brothers, dodging tree branches and loving it
