How Far Back Can Your Memory Take You?

[Bobbisox1]

I have a very good memory and can go back to when I was about 18 months old , I can remember standing up holding the rail of a cot when my two much older than me ,sisters came in from work.
They must of pooled some of their wages and they’d bought me a tiny pair of black ankle strap patent shoes, I remember loving my new shoes, haha

I recall lying in a carry cot on top of the living room table. I suspect some may wish to claim it's a false memory but I don't believe that. Some years later I can recall examining father's razor in the bathroom. Apparently mother had a few words with him about that. I'm sure there are other memories but I can't recall them all on demand.

What was the question?

[Bobbisox1]

It can’t be a false memory when it’s so vivid you always remember it tho O_G

[Bobbisox1]

I can remember being pushed by my mother in a pram in which there was also a large radio set (presumably being taken to be repaired) & passing by a field in which there was a large brown bull.

Probly about 4 - I got a clockwork tinplate toy car with a funny policeman in it for Xmas & my dad made a Xmas tree by fixing gorse branches into a broom handle.

[ummmm]

People do have false memories. I listened to my my son telling a story and having to point out that what he was saying never happened to him, it happened to me.

Lol, that pleases me greatly. (for some reason) I'll pinch it for my autobiography.

[Jackdaw33]

I can go a very long way back but I can't remember what I did yesterday.

I bet you had that same Christmas tree for years following , even though the handle and gorse branches were replaced over the years

Baz, I must have been around a year to 18 months , I was definitely in a cot and come to think of it, it was Winter as my Dad had put a fire in the grate of the bedroom ( no central heating then) and as was a November baby, it could have been when I was a year old
