I realise you can watch episodes on Youtube but it's not the same. Just after World of Sport anchored by Dickie Davis and with the wrestling......ah happy days! Sunday nights were always Tales of the unexpected followed by The Professionals........which much to my disgust, got sent to bed for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A day seemed a long, long time and the school holidays seemed to stretch out forever. I had the day off on Monday just past and it seemed to be 5pm before I knew it, and as for a long holiday like Christmas - I seem to spend the first week getting used to being off, and the second week thinking: "f**k, four days till I go back..." "f**k, three days till I go back..." Worse than that was big retailers, notably BHS would have big posters of grey flannels in the window saying "Back to school" before you'd even fucking finished for the summer.

throbber Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I have been thinking about this thread since i saw it earlier and i dont think i miss much about being a child, despite them being great years i don't wish i was a child again even for a day. Perhaps being 18-21 for the novelty of partying or a bit younger in my latter years of high school but don't think i have given actual childhood much thought in the past decade.

Bert Raccoon Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 1993 was an excellent summer. Big cans of Irn Bru, Hubba Bubba juice, WWF Summerslam trading cards, Jumpers for goalposts. Marvellous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 In simpler times plant equipment wasn't very secure on sites, breaking in to it was good fun. Playing on the railway was good as well. Found one of these on a disused stretch of track that used to go in to Inver House distillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bogey I found was on disused track between Shotts and Harthill. Setting fire to the grass was a favourite. Shotts greyhound stadium contained lots of straw and old petrol mowers and was ( allegedly ) very combustible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Nothing much, apart from the simplicity and random games of street football with the 'hood kids in all weathers. The freedom to finally do wtf you want, make all your own decisions, and be responsible for everything when you transition to adulthood is better than anything that childhood offers.

Mortar Bored Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I reckon the best bit of childhood is the bit no one remembers. My 14 month old daughter leads the life of fucking Reilly I tell you. Who is Reilly and why is your daughter living his life? Tell her to get her own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
