REMEMBER
WHEN:
All
the girls had ugly gymslips
It
took five minutes for the TV to warm
up
Nearly
everyone's Mum was home when the kids got home
from school
Nobody owned a purebred dog
You'd
reach into a muddy gutter for a
penny
Your
Mother wore nylons that came in two
pieces
All
male teachers wore ties and female teachers had
their hair done every day and wore high
heels
You
got your windscreen cleaned, oil checked and
petrol served, without asking, all for free,
every time..
It
was considered a great privilege to be taken
out
to dinner at a real
restaurant
With
your parents
They
threatened to keep children back a year if they
failed the school
year... and
They
did!
When
a Ford Zephyr was everyone's dream
car...
and
people
went steady
No
one ever asked where the car keys were because
they were always in the
car,
In
the ignition and the doors were never
locked
Spinning
around, getting dizzy and falling down was
cause
for giggles?
Playing
cricket with no adults to help the children
with
the rules of the game
Bottles
came from the corner shop without safety caps
and hermetic seals
Because
no one had yet tried to poison a perfect
stranger
And
with all our progress, don't you wish, just
once, you could slip back in
time
And
savour the slower pace and share it with the
children of today?
When
being sent to the headmaster's office was
nothing compared to the fate that awaited you
at
home
Basically
we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't
because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs
etc. Our
parents and grandparents were a
much bigger threat! But
we survived because their love was greater than
the threat.
As
well as summers filled with bike rides,
cricket,
hula hoops, skating and
visits
To
the pool, eating lemonade powder or liquorice
sticks.
Didn't
that feel good, just to go back and say, "Yes,
I
remember that"?
I
am sharing this with you today because it ended
with a Double Dare to pass it on. To
remember what a Double Dare is, read on and
remember that the perfect age is somewhere
between old enough to know better and too young
to care.
Send
this on to someone who can
still remember
the Lone Ranger and Sgt Bilko
How
Many Of These Do You
Remember?
Coca
Cola in bottles.
Blackjacks
and bubble gums.
Home
milk delivery in glass bottles with tinfoil
tops
Hi-fi's and
45RPM records.
78RPM
records!
Adding
Machines.
Scalextric.
Do
You Remember a
Time When...
Decisions
were made by going
'Eeny-meeny-miney-moe'?
'Race
issue' meant arguing about who ran the
fastest?
Catching tadpoles could
happily occupy an entire day?
It
wasn't odd to have two or three
'Best Friends'?
The
worst thing you could catch from the opposite
sex was chickenpox?
Having
a weapon in school meant being caught with
a catapult ?
War
was a card game?
Cigarette
cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a
motorcycle?
Taking
drugs meant orange-flavoured chewable aspirin
or
Fennings Little Healers ?
Water
balloons were the ultimate
weapon?
If
you can remember most or all of these, Then You
Have Lived!
Pass
this on to anyone who may need a break from
their 'Grown-Up'
Life..
Double
Dare You!
