Those shower hoods grandmas used to have, like a plastic headscarf for the rain.

All grandmas and aunties had them in the pocket of their handbags

Something just reminded me of them.

What other things can you remember from your childhood.

My Nanna always had imps. The little black sweets. I remember eating them when I was a kid but when I tried one recently I thought I would never get that disgusting taste out of my mouth. Don't even know what they're supposed to be flavoured of.

I'm a bit younger than some so beer has always been over a pound for me.

What I do remember from my youth was finding old porn mags stashed in a bush in the local bushes, was the closest to owning porn.

And who can forget a wick snog and slipping a finger with a girl knowing getting caught wouldn't get you on the sex offenders register.
