Before the Internet or the Apple Mac. Before Super Nintendo.I'm talking about Hide and Seek in the park. The corner shop. Hopscotch. Butterscotch. skipping. Handstands.Football with an old can.Beano, Dandy,Buster,Twinkle and Dennis the menace.Roly Poly. Hula Hoops, Watching Saturday morning cartoons, RoadRunner,He-Man,Tiswas or Swapshop when around the corner seemed far away and going into town seemed like going somewhere Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians,and Zorro.Climbing trees.Walking to school, no matter what the weather.Remember,The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. Water balloons were the ultimate weapon Football cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle.There were two types of trainers girls and boys, and Dunlop Green Flash,You knew everyone in your street - and so did your parents. It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best'' friends.nobody owned a purebred dog. When 25p was decent pocket money. When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny. When nearly everyone's mum was at home when the kids got there. Any parent could discipline any kid,or use him to carry groceries and nobody. When being sent to the head's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited you when you got home. When we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! and some of us are still afraid of them!! Decisions were made by going ''Ip Dip Dog ****''. ''Race issue'' meant arguing about who ran the fastest. Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in 'Monopoly.'' The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was a germ. It was unbelievable that 'British Bulldog 123' wasn't an Olympic event.
