For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I was a child all through the 50s and remember well playing out and roaming for miles for 12 hours a day in the summer. I am the oldest of a very large family and always had new clothes when needed. Times were hard but happy in the main. I was 13 in 1961 so was a teenager all through the 60s, now that was special. Our milkman had a black and white horse, and the coal man was darker than Bob Marley. We knew all about diversity. (^_*)
This business of "children don't play n the street anymore" seems to persist.
In my area there are plenty of kids playing in the street, and they are out there now, screaming their heads off !
Boys and girls still smoke, otherwise the habit of smoking would have died out years ago.
But its been a long time since I lasts saw kids on a go-cart, made from old pram wheels, thats for sure.

I was a child of the 50's and we played out for hours perfectly safely with our picnic of jam butties and bottled water. I used to wear dresses with sticky out petticoats as a child and the summers were always hot and we had loads of snow in the winter. Hopscotch was the girls' favourite game and our brothers dressed up as red indians or cowboys. I had long hair and was called 'sally pigtails' by the other girls.
