Memories of Being a Kid - #Nostalgia Alert

When the fair turned up at Buckingham Park my best mate at the time and I would sneak out of our houses super early in the morning and watch them set up. They would give us little jobs to do and considering we were about 7 when we started, they paid us very generously.

Mr Blobby making it to Xmas number 1.

Gladiators being the most popular thing on national tv.

Watching Baywatch completely oblivious to the massive tits and very revealing swimwear on show.

Big Breakfast

TFI Friday

£2.50 to get into the Goldstone.

The Davis & Tate cricket tournament played within the Preston Park Velodrome.

Funhouse.

Playing manhunt in Virgin Megastores, Western rd, after school.

Black jacks and fruit salads. 1/2 penny each.

You`re younger than me then ...The small ones used to be 8 for a penny late sixties/early seventies !! Believe they were four for an old penny and then eight for a newpenny after decimilisation.

Jubbly in the pyramid shaped cardboard container that you could never open. Especially frozen Jubblies :thumbsup:

School lunchtimes in the North Stand with my mates from Neville (Blatchington Mill) and a bag of chips from Speros' chippy in Sackville Rd. Paper rounds in the pissing rain, Saturday Butcher/Greengrocers deliveries on a cast iron bike with a tiny front wheel, huge basket on the front and dodgy breaks, death trap. Phone boxes/urinals, that bit of graffiti on Adelaide Crescent seafront that said ' Mourn Kieth Moon the king of the skins is dead'. Took about 10 years of painting over before that disappeared completely. Suzuki AP 50's, 10 Benno's, Skol lager and a local bobby to take the piss out of. Ours was PC Pratt :lolol:

Best days of my life.

On a piss poor day like today it had to be endless games of Super Striker. The one where you pressed down on the head of the player on a firm foam football pitch base. Wish I still had it even at my age...

Only had the bog standard Striker, was the Super with diving 'keepers? Broke the head off of my favourite player 'Thunderbolt Boots' with a slightly over zealous smash on his bonce.

Yep. Thunderbolt was clearly going for a top corner screamer. No doubt in the post match interview you went into "Albion Black Ops" mode and passed it off as a mere "Training Ground Knock" requiring just a week out...

No doubt smaller than black policemen's helmets.

I'll stick with under age 6....

First day back at school in September and the pavements were always frosty.

The winter of 62, walking to Rottingdene village to buy milk and bread (with my dad - a bit cruel to send a 4 year old out on his own in *that* snow).

The Navy lark

Muriel Young

Clear soup

(later) playing football in Easthill park until it got dark

Rupert annuals

Smith's crisps, soon to be replaced by Golden Wonder
