Or how about when we had portable baths before portaloos.
We didnt think twice about being bathed in the kitchen sink!

Had fun re-reading some of the posts I have missed during my exile. Thought I would bump this one up for those who may have missed it. Still makes me smile even after all these years.

Enjoyed reading this.
I really believe we were happier with our simpler lives.

Those days certainly are the best days of your lives.... but how many of us actually wished we were older at the time...?

I wished I was older at the time. I used to think how much I would love to be grown up so I could tell everybody what to do.

Now I am grown up it is a major disappointment to me, I have become so disillusioned with the world. I see noting but greed and secularism.

GREAT THREAD, GREAT MEMORIES.

There was an article like this on the BBC News website a few years ago. Unfortunately I can't remember enough about it to find it again.

The only thing I can remember was somebody commenting that the only time you ever saw a password was in a spy film.

Wonderful stuff. I too was there. Thanks so much for posting this. I think what made the difference for us having that kind of childhood rather than the one the poor kids get these days is simply innocence. We were innocent, just as kids should be, so the world was an exciting and joyful adventure rather than the stress-laden, streetwise and cynical experience it is today. And the tragedy of it is you can't get innocence back, whether personally or in society...once it's gone it's gone. Thank God for memories though!
