What have you done in the passed that you would not be allowed to do now?

Whenever i flew anywhere as a child, i always used to ask the stewardess if i could go and see the 'cockpit'. I seem to remember that most times they said yes and i got to go spend a few minutes in there. I stopped doing that in my early teens.

Just to see what would happen if an adult asked the same question, i did it again as a 30yr old on a flight from aberdeen to Luton hehe. The upshot was, i spent the last twenty minutes of the flight in the co-pilots seat and even got to stay in the cockpit (in a different seat) while we landed, which suprised the hell out of me!

I amm assuming that this kind of thing doesn't happen anymore..

Wandering the local fields with an air rifle, hours on end.

Be arrested by an armed response unit with helicopter support within a few minutes these days.....

As a kid going a day trip with a group friends all sitting in the boot of my mate's dad's ford cortina estate, you could get about 10 kids in there from memory, seatbelts, what are seatbelts..

Hopefully, never have to take a driving test again.
Running around in the woods with short-trousers with a Roy Rogers cowboy suit and waving a gun around would probably get me arrested, so that's out too.

'Proper' 12 car rallies.
Motoring News road rallies with a 200 mile route based in the Lake District.
'Just' get on a plane to fly abroad.

There's loads.

Some I miss a lot, some I'm glad to forget.

I'll probably never do another orgy, if I do I hope that next time the blond Swedish twins are female that will be far more fun.

Smoke in a pub (Although I gave up 7 years ago), but you get the point.

Fill a car up for less than £80

Drive down a motorway without being told after every gantry that the speed has changed YET again !

You can still do that- I filled up my car with Vpower for £60 yesterday.

When I bought my Mini in 1999 I could never get more than £15 in it- I'm pretty sure you couldn't do THAT now...

You're not far off, there has been a debate raging in the shooting community for a while now about informing the police if you're off for some rough shooting/lamping at night/other wandering-around-in-the-countryside-with-guns activities...

It's not uncommon for a well meaning member of the public to phone the police and a terrorist stalking around in the local woods, when in fact its just a farmer looking for a rabbit for his dinner...

the supporters say it'll save police time, as they always have to respond to these calls. The non-supporters say "why the bloody hell SHOULD we tell them, its private land, and weve been doing it for decades"
