Nostalgia thread - what do you miss?

[alexkp]

Just for fun, and a trip down memory lane...

What do you miss most from your younger days?

Could be WigWams - the triangular potato snack, or Marine Boy - the strange pill popping cartoon kid who could breathe underwater... or maybe you really wish you had kept all your old Look-In magazines, cos they must be worth something by now...

Keep it light. The first person who says "Politicians with integrity" or similar will be made to go without a sherbert fountain for a fortnight and have their subscription to "The Dandy" cancelled.

I miss the surreal children's TV programmes.

Getting drunk for less than £5.00 thats what I miss most!

Climbing trees. Being in my forties and marginally overweight I find it looks ridiculous - plus the trees all seem smaller these days.

I miss the most stressful decision of the day being whether to have my drink before or after my packed lunch.

I think it's the excitement of the slightest thing. Seeing a dog in the distance sends kids mad, and Christmas is just the most exciting thing imaginable. Even the back garden becomes a jungle/racetrack/unexplored planet.

And being able to play with toys and not get funny looks. I've found I can't get away with that any more

Things always tasted "bigger" somehow.......

Hand back the candy cigarettes and go and stand in the corner.

It was £1 in my day.

It was a sip of babycham when I was a nipper.

It's a whole glass now!

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be any more.

Finishing the bottle of pop and taking the bottle back to the shop for the deposit to spend on sweets.

Being able to buy 'seppies'(single fags for 10p each)
