Apparently, it does. You just aren't lurking in the right bushes.


Plus, these days, you are probably closer to the age of the porn leaver, not the finder.

I found a newish copy Knave (or whatever it was, I didn't look at who produced it!) in the bushes about 4 months ago up north way.

I was going to leave in the mates borrowed can for his 13 and 16yo sons to find but thought better of it.

This still begs the question why you were lurking in the bushes oop north?

You've all forgotten one of the best things a kid could do - go into the cockpit of a plane when going on holiday and having the pilot talk you through all the switches and letting you press one! I'm glad I got the chance smile
Yes! This was the part of the holiday I most looked forward too.

Being a nervous kid I turned this down each of the three times I was offered. Now it is one of my biggest regrets.

I asked to go in the cock pit of 747 in 1996. I was 26yo.

It was ace! The pilots were only to happy to show me their knobs and stuff even though the air strewardess thought I was a bit retarded in asking. hehe

No chance now. frown

As a kid flying BOAC on my own with a stewardess to look after me, I always went up front to meet the Captain. This also happened when I was 21 in 1983 on a BA flight to Hong Kong. After drinking solidly for 6 hours I asked the stewardess where we were and she just took me to the cockpit to meet the crew. I ruined it by staggering drunkenly forward and hitting my head on some of the switches. The Captain asked that I be removed from the cockpit at this point.

Fast forward to the mid 90s and I sat with the crew on a Qantas 747 from Sydney to LA and chatted with the 1st officer for a while. He told me that he kept forgetting how big a Jumbo was and that there were over 300 people sitting behind him. I think he missed his days in the Australian Airforce.

I shall refrain from spouting my hatred towards those mad fekers that ruined all that and have managed to make flying as a passenger a right pain in the harris.

"You show me yours and I'll show you mine."

For some reason I don't imagine modern children play this and those who do get in lots of trouble.

I remember, on a school trip to France aged 13 or so, the teachers allowed us to buy flick knives. (Big ones too.)

This was on the understanding that, if we got caught bringing them back to the UK, they knew nothing about it, right?
hehe

Flick knives were a must on foreign school trips. We all had them.
Bangers too, the ones that look like mini sticks of dynamite

Amazing things.
They were able to blow things to smithereens.

On that theme, but much smaller, the rolls of caps you could get for your toy pistol. They fitted into little pressed plastic holders that then went into the toy gun. I remember unwrapping a fresh roll and the smell was wonderful. They made a great line of 'fuse' fire like the beginning of Mission Impossible. Happy happy days.

You've just reminded me of a kid at primary school called Mark Holloway. He was, shall we say, a bit 'simple', and very easily led.

We girls would egg him on to expose himself to a particular elderly female dinner supervisor, who would shriek with horror, while we all fell about laughing.

I do wonder where he is now - locked away somewhere no doubt.
