What is your earliest memory/memories?

Not the earliest but one of mine was getting my BOAC aeroplane brooch. I can't seem to find it now.

"What is your earliest memory/memories?

Strangely enough I can remember all major incidences in my life. Regardless of age or situation. Like I can remember things happening when I went to nursery at the age of 2. I can remember my first day in my new primary school when I was 5. I remember my first ever assembly in secondary school when I was 11. Also its not just school I remember is family day trips, etc. However when I go out with my mates. Even when I am still sober I forget what was said 5 minutes ago. Strange really. Although I have a theory on why that maybe, but that's only if what I heard was true. I heard for every 1 bad thing that affects you, you need 10 good things to get over it and I had a shitty childhood and even into my early adulthood. Although 18/19 you could class as a teenager. So maybe that's why my memory is poor now and yet I can remember stuff from back then

When Santa delivered my very own West Ham Jersey, with a number 9 on the back. I think I was about a 3yo.

I heard that if you smoke a lot it kills short term memory just thought I'd mention it

Must be a rumour. Never smoked in my life. Probably has about 5 or 6 in my whole life and my short term memory is shot. My grandfather smoked heavily for 30 odd years and he's got one of the best memories going

Kinda - my father is an ardent supporter so naturally I was too, but I haven't really followed much football in the last 5 years!

Still go to Upton park at least once a season with my old man though.

London

I remember sitting on the floor with my sister and the news was on the gram and my dad making our bottles. I can't recall my dad's face, just his legs: blue and white checked trousers with turn ups. That's the only part of him I recall, and the bottles: plastic with a big teat, full, not with formula but Milo.

I also recall my mum dropping off my sister and I at the child minder: a white woman called Betty with a black husband Bertram. My mum used to bring two eggs, bread and plantain for our breakfast.

Betty would give my sister and I Shredded Wheat and cook eggs and plantain...for Bertram. We were then chucked in the garden until she knew our mum was coming back.

49 years later I still recall this beastly pair and I've never bought or eaten Shredded Wheat since.

I remember standing at the front gate at my nans house holding a Tiny Tears and my mum taking a photo of me. I do still have the photograph but I also clearly remember looking out through the gate and my nan telling me not to touch the gate.

I also remember paddling in the sea in Barry Island.

I was about 2 years old

One of my earliest memories is being taken to school by my mum and standing on a railway bridge and seeing the trains, which were still steam !! Well, some were. I think it must have been around 1965 ? Makes me feel like an old fart.

I also remember my first day at nursery and how my mum used to drag my buggy up a hill backwards so the rain wouldn't go in my face. There are lots of other random things I remember too. My dad is amazed at some of the things I can remember, and tells me to keep the one where he'd leave me outside the pub for a couple of hours, sat on the wall with a bag of hedgehog crisps, just so I wouldn't tell my mum lol

I guess for me its sumit like....

Watching my Mum orchestrate that wonderful kitchen scene of home baking mixed with the heated aroma coming from a twin-tub washing machine churning away Persil bubbles frothing and busting all melding beautifully together filling the air with a sense of warmth security and comfort….

One of my earliest memories is of my sister pushing me down the stairs, I must have been about 2 or 3 and she would have been 5 or 6. I remember getting up tears streaming down my face only to be told off my dad for letting her do it when I had no choice in the matter

Thank you all - these are lovely.

Miss_Tress, I have a similar one but it was cornflakes, being left outside so as not to make a mess and then spam for dinner every day for a week. It was our summer holiday staying with an aunt (related, not the acquaintance type). I was about 6.

I never did like Milo.
