Life seemed so much easier.

You're not wrong....I remember as a kid getting a pound note and thinking it was a fortune. We didn't watch TV - we went to the local park on our bikes, put our jumpers down as goal posts and played footie until it got dark. You could get a clip round the ear from your local bobby (and ours was a completely nasty piece of work). Sweets were bigger, school dinners were awful and the summers seemed warmer....

Bring back the 70's I say!

ITV's World of Sport on a Saturday.

Presented by Dickie Davis.

Superstars when Brian Jacks was (Still) a legend for his Tricep Dips and Squat thrusts. When Sports Starts really pitted themselves against the best other sports starts to really see who was the best and didn't care about their weekly wage.

Meeting up on a Saturday afternoon . Everything done by word of mouth. No mobiles asking where are you. If you weren't there then it's your loss.

Running out of wages with a few days to go before payday but you knew you wouldn't starve as you could still get 3 meals a day in the airmens mess.

16 Black Jacks or Fruit Salads for a penny (pre-decimal) from the ice cream van that came round your estate twice a night.

Funny how after decimalization you only got 8 of each to a "new" penny!

Riding on the back steps of the bin lorry during summer holidays.

Doing your paper / milk round to get some cash (as opposed to other illegal methods today).

Thinking on it, overall, I was happier with "less" stuff - no cell phones / computers / constant advertising etc. You actually went out of your way to speak or hang out with people.

Ohhh hay bale dens. Got dropped massively in the guano by a so-called mate after he got caught in a barn messing about in a hay bale den we'd made. The owner found him and the little get sang like a canary when asked who else had made the thing out of his hay, pointed the finger at the other two of us without a moments thought. :pDT_Xtremez_32: Visit from the cops and marched by the collar up to the owners house to make a grovelling apology or risk my dad and the other lads dad having to cough up a fortune to cover the 'damage'.
