I remember when . . . .
I remember when a Choo-Choo bar was threepence and it would last all the way from the swimming baths until I got home.
I remember when the baker delivered bread in an old English van and didn't care that he got ambushed by all the kids for freebees and gave us a warm tank loaf to eat and laughed while we enjoyed it.
I remember that we could play in the middle of the road and someone would yell "car" and we would step aside until it had passed and resume our cricket game.
I remember when you could catch tadpoles on the way home from school any day you liked.
I remember the tree house with the big rope swing that swung over those tadpoles which was removed when that strange kid let go of the rope and broke his leg.
I remember my first publication..... So and so was a bitch.... With a spray paint can behind the school. (got caught).
What do you remember?
