Staying up late.

Re: Staying up late.

I can only really remember being allowed to stay up late on holidays to Butlins.

I recall staying up late with mum and dad in the 'Pig & Whistle' bar, in Butlins Bognor. Of course, there's a whole other site for that - bit not many people there recall 1974, alas.

I remember being allow to stay up late a few times when we have visitors. Sometimes I might be allowed to see something on TV I really wanted to watch, like the one-off Across The Water with Anthony Hopkins as Donald Campbell.

1987/8 was the first year I stayed up to see the new year in.

As a child, what were the reasons you were allowed to stay up late?

Here's my top three:

1. The babysitter was easygoing and good fun.
2. Mum was out and Dad was in charge of bedtime.
3. An Apollo rocket was about to launch!
