I grew up elsewhere. My house was near a forest and we used to spot them so often. Just brings good memories.
I need to go there asap. Thanks!  |

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

"Ah, do you remember the joy of double de-clutching?
Ma Uncle taught me how to do that on North Hull Estate in his Ferrymasters wagon when I was 14  "
I had to do it for the Morris Minor. No synchromesh on that beauty as it was too old.

"Red phone boxes
Still a few around but I only see them in London. X"
There are plenty still around the country, but most of them don't actually have phones in them and have been converted to mini libraries where you can just exchange books |

Do you believe that people with mental illness should be given notability cars and out there driving when your mind needs to be spot on every time you get behind the wheel ?
Genuine question not fishing for an argument |

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. |

I restore classic cars and am very much into the vintage lifestyle so still see a lot of things.
What I haven't seen for ages though is porno mags in the woods. There always seemed to be some lying around when we were kids. |

Blockbusters, the fear that the latest film would be sold out when you got there or the fuckwit behind the counter handed you over the right case but 101 dalmations in the case instead of pulp fiction. |

"Hedge jumping....
Milk bottle pinching...
Milk bottles!
Scrumping....
Arhhhhhhh them were the days "
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
It was fantastic to be carefree again although we did cause some none lasting damage as I'm not 7 stone anymore |

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. |
