If we wanted to carry music about with us, it generally meant taping the charts on a Sunday and trying to hit pause at the right time so you cut out the voice overs.

"Children playing in the streets "

We had an end of summer street party. There are only 65 houses on our street. I was shocked at the amount of kids, young people there, I'd never seen any of them in the ten years I've lived here because kids don't play out: sad.

I can't help but agree. Growing up through the 80's was so much better than it is now. Kids can't do half of what we were almost encouraged to do back then for fear of ending up with an ASBO.
