What little things gave you a great feeling from either childhood/teens, things you don't get a chance to do anymore.

Used to love Record shopping on a Saturday, looking at all the Album and Single covers, choosing what I wanted then,the moment of taking them out there sleeves to play when I got home,Magic

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Watching my mate play Defender in the Riverside pub. Having a cappuccino in the Acropolis café. Flipping through records in the local record shop. Having around with boys in York city centre. Those were the days.

I miss the feeling that summer would go on for ever and the lack of responsibility.

Going on Geology walks with my dad and his OU classes. Making sandcastles in Hunstanton and putting those little flags on them. Wandering round Bramham Park when the wild garlic was out.

Customising our bikes and a group of us going down the woods to test them out . Choppers , cow horn handlebars , all sorts , and hurtling down steep hills without a care in the world . Often finishing up climbing trees and generally talking crap before pushing our now pretty mangled bikes home to fix them up for the next day .

Buying sweets with a thrupenny bit (yes, I'm that old), watching Swap Shop on a Saturday, hiding behind the sofa watching Dr Who, recording the top 40 songs on my Dads stereo, watching my parents parties from the top of the stairs, then going down in the morning to eat the leftover desserts while my parents slept off their hangovers. Going swimming on a Sunday morning and stopping for an ice-cream on the way back. Going with my Dad to get the Sunday papers and picking up comics and sweets.

1/2p sweets Mojo's, Space hoppers, Black Jacks and now they are all 5p+ lol. Stig of the dump and Grange Hill. Sunday School and the free sweets in the butchers store. Birthdays when you were given presents by everyone and of course Christmas was made to feel like your day no one else's.

4 black jacks/fruit salads for 1/2p I remember. A licorice stick filled with sherbet was 1p and chocolate scissors 2p. I didn't like flying saucers but my mate loved them. You can still get a mix up in our local shop. Costs me a pound per kid minimum now with those huge snakes being 20p each.
