In view of this poor chap who stuck his head out of a window on a train ...... and lost it.

As per title, things that you used to be able to do before "Health & Safety" took over - in lots of ways rightly so but in others just some common sense is surely enough??!

Me, I'm amazed when I first flew you could smoke a fag at the back of a plane. Crazy! (both as a fire risk and for secondary smoking).

And I used to damn love that microwave popcorn that also came with a slab of toffee to melt in the bag. I guess some div killed themselves with it and it was withdrawn.

You?

Breakfast was so much better when you could get a box of cereal with a toy in. (RIP all those who choked on bright purple Boglins and plastic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which looked just enough like a cornflake that you couldn't possibly notice it on your spoon)

How about not wearing car seat belts? Then you had to wear them in the front but not the back for a while!

Go out all day on your bike as an 8 year old, and come home when the streetlights came on.

Buy a packet of peanuts without a warning. “May contain nuts”

Buy a packet of crisps knowing it was 99% potato, today you buy Pringles with 42% Potato !

I picked up a box once, and didn't even bend my knees. And another time, I stood at the front of the bus and spoke to the driver...WHILE HE WAS DRIVING.


Crazy days.
