Building on Tilly's great thread last night, http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/ChatterBank/Question1379783.html

what was your very first memory and what age were you?

My first one was in Scotland, staying in a hotel near Loch Katrine, playing 'hopscotch' on the tartan carpet in reception - it seemed massive. Also, on that trip, I can remember going on the wee steamer that went up the Loch from the Trossachs Pier. I was just over 3 and a half, my eldest sister being one and a bit.

Over to you.

Dad took me out in the car. He went into the bank, and gave me a couple of coppers to spend in the sweet shop next door. When he came out of the bank, he jumped in the car, and went home without me. He'd forgotten he'd taken me in the first place. I think I was four.

well, it is what defence lawyers trade off when it comes to grilling in court, even if the case is slam-dunk. There we do spin the circumstances of what we have witnessed and try to reach conclusions. It's not lying per se......

However, not sure if it really applies to these 'core' memories and early experiences - for me, like learning to read 'Dick and Dora' on the steps of the school house when I was 4, a very clear memory indeed.
