Drive the car down the road with me sitting on my lap doing the steering.
Magic!
still let my nipper do that when we're on holiday, he's two and absolutely loves it! (obviously he doesn't actually steer!)

Make bombs using weed killer and sugar. In retrospect I consider myself lucky to still have all my appendages.....
I remember this! Never did it myself but watched a couple of the older kids make them.The 'powder' was packed into used brass gun shells, can't remember how it was ignited though.

Buy icecream from a tray in the 'interval' at the cinema
Actually you still can at the Kinema in the Woods, they also have an organ that comes up though the floor in the interval. It's epic

Showering the morning after a night out and washing the stink of stale smoke off you. 
What for? I'd just be sparking up in bed with a cuppa for breakfast anyway?? D)Edited by ben5575 on Wednesday 30th September 22:13
Anyone remember smoking in offices? I remember most people's desks had ashtrays, people like the boss would have cigarette boxeswe woudl raid and we'd pile into a meeting we'd all spark up. Smoking on the tube was pretty mad too, bad with the Kings X fire (although that was after it had been stopped on trains, just someone sparking up on the escalator so I believe...)
I don't have an urge to smoke now, and the stink it produced,and obviously the health impacts, but I kinda miss lighting up now and then....
Damn glad my kids won't have it around as much as I did though!

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?
I can't think of anything more annoying, travelling all the way to a shop to find out they haven't got what you wanted, if woolworths also didn't have it you had to go without I assume having spent money to get to the shops in the first placeAnd we talked about how we used to go to the record shop (Our price) on a Saturday and buy a 7 inch single.

I disagree. It's far too easy nowadays and that makes music throaway.From the comfort of any chair I choose I can browse buy and download any single/album I want in minutes

Back then it was like a mission, you had to use real money, go into a shop, transact for the record, take it home and out of it's sleeve to pop on the record player.
it was special.
And if you went to more than one shop it made it even more so.
Now, people have everything and look forward to very little.e

My earliest memories of buying a CD was a huge long list of copied CD's someone down the local pub could get us for £2 each
