Cars with vinyl roofs and old school pop up sunroofs (not the built in wind back ones)

I grew up elsewhere. My house was near a forest and we used to spot them so often. Just brings good memories.

If you have anxiety about being in a crowd you CAN still concentrate on driving.

Should parents not drive with small children in the car? They're very distracting.

Depends what the mental illness is and my experience is more parents with children with disabilities. Let’s keep to the thread though. It’s a good thread.

We called hedge jumping the grand national because it also had a water feature(fish pond) just the other side of the fence.

Actually did it with and old school friend (girl) recently when I bumped into her on a night out and we started to reminisce about happy carefree days

"People holding doors open for others.

I do this but a woman snapped at me only last week for doing it

I still hold the door open for the next person in the busy places. I have to avoid bumping my own head as I always expect the person in front to do it as well.

The Phone Zombies have taken over. I think a bit of Manchester has been turned into a safe zone for them.

I think their zombie like state is due to something entirely different if you are talking about Piccadilly Gardens.
