Blimey are they still about, all the Argentinian stuff in our local Tesco's has been replaced with stuff from Poland and Nepal!

What our kids won't experience, what about you lot ?
Riding a penny farthing
ration books
gas lighting
the workhouse
cleaning the chimney
the rag and bone man
the helter skelter
carpet bombing in your city
conscription
public flogging
hanging
press ganging
deportation to the colonies
spare cash in your pocket
a good summer without rain
For me and my kids it is different
They will never experience the things I did.
Sweeping out the cave floor with sticks
making fire (without matches, lighters etc)
my first hunt for a brontasauras
making my own spear
seeing my first dodo

You've led a sheltered life obviously:
the workhouse It's now called a kitchen or utility room, i'm chained to it some days.
cleaning the chimney We have 3 chimneys here, all unused, two are uncapped, one currently has a bees nest in it, we've just purchased a sweep set and swept the two empty ones leaving the bees nest one alone for now.
public flogging renamed ' the media '
and you sure you posted the below correctly?
seeing my first dodo not dildo? - Just a thought, I have them occasionally.

getting pissed and leaving the curry all over the table to be woken by the tone of the tv in the early hours.

You can still get this by feeding the dogs enough bones.

Milk in a glass bottle wiv cream on the top under a silver foil lid

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. We used to have to save the foil tops to send off to Valerie Singleton so she could turn them into lifeboats and guide dogs etc. :thumbup:
How about only having two sorts of crisps: Plain, or add your own salt from the little blue bag.

but Cubes, cos you is so ancient and all that, what about Rickets?

Oi! I resemble that remark! smackbottom ;)
Three channels? I can remember when we only had BBC and ITV. And it was all in black and white.
Sadly the one major thing we have lost since the 1950s, and children will never know, is freedom.

Hell yeah! I remember all the hype about the BBC starting to broadcast in colour. I was totally pissed off when the allotted day arrived and everything was still in black and white. They said nowt about needing a colour telly. :lol2:
And the freedom thing: with the onset of the school holidays I was thinking the other day how I used disappear every day for six weeks, without ever needing to keep in touch with my parents. Even if I'd needed to it would have to be from a phone box. My kids can't go anywhere nowadays without us having their itinerary, contact details, and making sure their mobile is charged and off vibrate. Where did things start to go wrong? dunno

Listening to the national anthem when the tv stations close for the night
followed by a white dot and a continous tone lol

or worse the scary child with her scary clown test card :scared:
or hiding behing the sofa when doctor who was on
water bombs made from folded paper
being smacked by your parent
the school cane
making box carts with pram wheels an old pallet and some string
The correlation between a cassette and a pencil

Hmm! Had the opposite problem - the excitement of the colour tv fizzling out when I realised almost all programs were still in B&W! 3D, anyone?
Things our kids will never know .....
1: what the world outside the cellar is like
2: where their mother is buried
They'll never know that it's safe to leave ketchup and jam etc. out of the fridge without the fear of black death ensuing! confused
