Things your kids will never do

[Thankyou4calling]

I was with my brother at the weekend, reminiscing, as you do.

And we talked about how we used to go to the record shop (Our price) on a Saturday and buy a 7 inch single. If the shop didn't have it Woolworths was the next option.

The pleasure we derived from that and taking it home to put on the record player and listen to it non stop all afternoon.

Kids now will never do that!

What else will the youth of today never enjoy or dread?

Use a pencil to try to wind a C90 cassette back into it's case after its got caught in the car stereo.

Wait for a computer game to load.

Try and find a particular song on a tape by using a pencil.

Do a paper round.

ETA: They will be able to type faster though...

But kids do that in iTunes, for 99p, and that has an instant impact on the Chart (as evidenced by the dreadful Bond theme). Different, and arguably better.

Hopefully, my kids won't get Polio either

Find porn mags in hedges or railway sidings.

[LordJammy]

Listen to the dial up modem ringing up the internet.

Renting stuff from the video shop. Do they still exist in the age of Netflix and iTunes store?

I discovered one under the boards in the loft of our new house a few weeks ago, which got me thinking I'd not spotted any "hedge porn" for years now!

Get chased off glue sniffers.

Find white dog doo.

In the summer holidays, be kicked out of your house at 8am with a sandwich and a drink and told to go out and play on your bike and not to come home until just before sunset.

And spending the 1st August at the nearest busy junction looking for cars with a new reg plate.

Have you tried downloading/installing a modern game over an internet connection?

Its coming back as raw food diets become more popular.

Ours often do white sts!

Yes but you're supposed to bag and dispose; so, hopefully they won't be there for kids to find.

They've been renamed "Honey monster puffs", thus KA is correct, unless you consider "eating a Snickers" to be the same as "eating a Marathon", which could be argued.

[anonymous-user]

Wait for anything to rewind or fast forward.

Have the opportunity to swear at a pop group on live Saturday morning TV.

Record the Top 40 on a Sunday night.

Miss an episode of a TV show.

Fire the lid of a Smarties tube at someone/a pet.

Buy sweets for 1p each.
