All the local kids used to meet up every day in the holidays and play rounders all day. It was brilliant. it was the only time that religion didn't separate the kids. Sad but true

Yeah - we used to tie string to nthe door knocker, and then hide round the corner while pulling the string - but that was in the 50s.
I wasn't a kid in the 70s. sorry but I recon the 70s were good times. Far better than times are for today's kids

You were pulling a tooth, right? I've got lots better memories than that. How about running through a sprinkler because nobody you knew had a pool, and your parents were too exhausted to drive you and your bros. to the lake after a full day of work?

During the summer hols' my friend and I used to go to the local 'boating-pool' to catch crabs with a bit of string and a cracked mussel-shell.
We stayed all day and collected dozens in a bucket, which we decided to take home with us. Along the way the bucket seemed to get heavier and heavier by the minute.........
Looking over the sea wall we spotted a bunch of fatties eating a picnic tea on the slope.
Can you guess what we did next?
There was water, crabs and decibel-shattering screams as we upturned the bucket onto them.
We nearly wetted ourselves trying to run away whilst they chased us along the promenade.
Ah - that takes me back to halcyon days....x

Playing "Buck-Buck" and "Red Rover".

Swinging on a tree tire over a ditch and seeing how many can jump on and hold on to be the last one to fall off!


Watching my brothers build go-carts from crates and having neighborhood go-cart competitions.

Having "block parties" The neighborhood would get together for dancing,playing chess or checkers, food and running through the sprinkler because we didn't have a pool.
