We all thought that this sounded like a sensible idea. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Brings back some similar memories but John must have been richer than me, where he could afford lemonade with his sandwiches I had to make do with water which usually ended up with breadcrumbs at the bottom of the bottle.

I enjoyed the overall story and narrative, it just stuck out to me the cultural difference there. Kids were treated like adults back then, nowadays if a kid did the same (well here in the stAtes) the parents would be arrested for neglect.

Palfy Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Great story John, kids with freedom and having harmless fun sounds so a dilic, even at my young age in the 60s you could go out all day and feel safe. All though making bombs is an extreme past time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
