I remember the starry nights in our back yard. Before one had to drive two hours away from the city's light pollution.

I remember when NOK 10 (~US$ 1,85) was enough to cover the return bus ride, the cinema and candy for the movie.

I remember when we could climb trees (and fall down) without having to have EU-approved soft sand under every place where children happend to play.

I remember when children were out playing the whole day, without any cell-phone and parents only vaguely had an idea where their offspring were. And this was ok so long as we came home for evening meal and bedtime.

I remember when going on holiday meant driving by (a very small) car around in Scandinavia and sleeping in a cotton "house tent". And not by aeroplane halfway around the globe and live in a 5-star hotel.

I remember when only the main roads were tarmac.

I remember the milk ramps and the haystacks in "the countryside".

I remember when only the richest neighbours had a motorised lawn mower.

I remember when only the filthy richest neighbours had a snow thrower.

And, I remember most of the above posters statements as well
