What do you miss from your childhood?

[Tilly2]

Apart from missing my Mum and Dad, and the care they gave me, I miss eating toast that's been done on a toasting fork over the fire, having stories read to me and dipping a Kit Kat finger in my cup of tea.

[MarkRae]

Although, all three of things would still be possible, wouldn't they...? :-)

[Tilly2]

Yes, but I don't have an open fire, KitKats are not made with proper chocolate now and .........................actually, no, I don't have anyone to read to me.

lucky bags..sherbert fountains..packing a bottle of juice and a jam piece and going off into the woods for adventures 'till we could hear the local foundry siren that signalled home time !!!

I used to like pikelets toasted on an open fire as a treat when i was a kid.

The freedom from responsibility
spending to spend half the summer at King Georges park open air pool and the rest roaming Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park and thinking seeing rabbits and squirrels was exciting

that strange flavour of the clear red sugar mice

[ummmm]

Loads. The people, mainly.

I lived next door to the best chip shop in town. I miss that (don't eat chips from a chip shop anymore) I used to see if I could get from chip shop to upstairs in the pub without being stopped. I was quite unsuccessful.

You had no worries as a child.Everything you did was so carefree. The older
you get, you find the more to worry about. I must be one of the few that
actually loved school. I had good friends, and we had a good laugh. I don't
have many happy memories of home life so I suppose school was a form of
escape.

7 week summer hols.

[Tilly2]

Did you live somewhere warm as a child, mccfluff?

[gness]

Being a Brownie. Watching Dixon of Dock Green while eating kippers with proper bread and butter.

[Davethedog]

Spangles - Playing in the park for ever - being innocent and therefore nearly everything was a new experience (oh to feel a kiss like my first) - and Gary Aldred my best mate, who was gone when we moved.

[cathfromsaron]

my waist, going to guides and getting muddy!

the latter two NOT possible now! lol!

[rowanwitch]

No a Granadier Granada cinema Clapham Junction... With Uncle Derek and his mighty organ..... and keeping 6d for chips on the way home

[andy-hughes]

Freedom to roam for the whole day, and come back either for a meal, or when it was dark.

I missed that so much on behalf of my daughters, for whom such freedom was a total unknown.
