According to today's regulators and bereaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 50's, 60's and 70's shouldn't have survived, because...
Our cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint which was chewed and licked.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles or latches on doors on cabinets and it was fine to play with pans.
When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets just flip-flops and fluorescent 'clackers' on our wheels.
As kids we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the front was a treat.
We shared 1 drink with 4 friends, from 1 bottle or can and no 1 actually died from this.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle - it tasted the same.
We did not have Play stations or X-Boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personel computers, no Internet chat rooms. We had friends - we went outside and found them.
There's a lot more...Toe.
