Playing in the sun with your friends
Going out after breakfast (during the summer) and only coming home when you were hungry and noone worring where you where
No mobile phones

Cars, big old Sweeney style Granadas with plastic seats you struck to in summer and burned yourself on and I had a Ford Capri 3.0L ( oh I was such a prat) but it was like a girl magnet at the time, hilarious when I think about it and wouldn't be seen dead in it now but god I loved it at the time.
Horrible fabrics for cothes, nylon shirts and kipper ties.
