Talking of cassette tapes however, what better way to record radio, can anyone see the reason for discontinuing them?

Most missed - taking refuge in the Air Raid Shelter every night when the flying bombs came over - well missed.

Skipping in the street with all my friends, mums turning the rope.

Summer of '76, playing out allllllllllllllllll day then coming in for a rollocking as the tar from the cobbles on our backstreet was welded to my clothes.

Canary, where in the country was that?

[mccfluff]

not having to pay the bills

[beegeebee]

Tying the door knocker of houses opposite each other with twine, and then dashing off to hide and see how long it took for the doors to get opened.

[B00]

Picking the pebbles off my neighbour's newly done pebble dashed wall- then getting another rollocking when said neighbour grassed me up to my mum :-(

[Svejk]

The excitement of Christmas, more the build-up than the day itself and doing jobs for my mum.

Riding a brand new bike on Christmas morning.

Tramping across the south downs with friends, playing with our home made bows and arrows and arriving home just in time for tea.

Skipping, hopscotch, jacks.

[joggerjayne]

End of the summer hols, going back to school with an old trunk and an armful of sports kit.

[anotheoldgit]

Taking the trolley that you made from pram wheels and soapboxes on it's maiden run.

Wrapping up a small piece of brick, (complete with a few creepy crawly things) as a parcel complete with used postage stamps, then placing it on the pavement outside one's house, then watching from a window and see a person spot it, look around, then quickly pop it in their bag and hurry off.

Any comments regarding the cassette tape?
