Re: One thing you miss

lot of people now dont even have an open fire which is one thing i miss.

I remember doing that toasting bread by the fire with one of those big forks sometimes wheaten bread.

there are so many things that i miss from childhood and early adulthood. Just one example: Sitting by my gran's roaring coal fire on a cold winter's day, toasting bread on a toasting fork with a packet of lurpak ready to spread onto the hot toast.

Re: One thing you miss

Guaranteed warm springs and summers and less rain

Yeah, I remember it being roasting outside at Easter time. I'd be out playing in my shorts and t shirt during the Easter holidays. Last night I had to close my bedroom windo because of an icy wind. An icy wind in July and people still deny climate change. I wonder if people will still be denying climate change when we have no crops because we don't get any sun anymore?

Our first little house was a tiny terraced cottage in a Lincolnshire village with a coal fire, i'd be hoarding logs in the shed from late summer thru autumn for wintertime. Lovely smell of apple logs burning and a few logs on the hearth to go on next. Fond memories.

I have to admit as a young lad we lived in the Countryside in a Cottage and had such a lifestyle as too

Great day's what I miss indeed

Re: One thing you miss

Theyve shown the onedin line a lot over the yrs repeats of it on itv 4.

One thing i miss are the long dr who stories anything from 4 to 7 parters of 24 mins and the cliffhangers.

i wish they'd show the 70's drama series of the brothers and the onedin line ( plus robinson crusoe ) .

BBC 2 have been repeating The Pallisters & it's always worth keeping an eye on Drama & Yesterday's schedules for some oldies being reshown.

Re: One thing you miss

I know about that one, but it was exceptional.

1990, 1994 & 1995 were hot ones, with hosepipe bans being brought in.

Re: One thing you miss

Almost everyone mentions summers being better when they were younger but I remember lots of rainy ones.

Summer of 1976 no rain for about 5 months
