Going to the cinema with mates.
Do kids still play conkers?
It was always the collecting that was the best part for me. The thrill of jumping over a wall or scrambling under hedge to fill my pockets before fleeing was great. I imagine the owners of the gardens we plundered knew full well and were happy to have someone tidy up the lawn for them but it got the adrenaline flowing.

Kerb ball. Nowadays you can't see the kerbs for parked cars.
Sitting in the same room playing video games together. Not online.
Meeting your mates to hang out with minimal plans and no organisation further than “see you at the park tomorrow”.
Then going home and not seeing/hearing from your mates until school on Monday .
Not saying it wa better, just different.
