Thing from the past which were ok then but... 16:19 - Aug 16 with 6919 viewsFixed_It

...would be frowned upon now.

Clearing out my Mum's garage last weekend and we uncovered an old, much-loved toy from my childhood. It was a Golliwog, which if I remember correctly was affectionately known as Sam. Obviously, you don't see them these days - understandably - but back in the day no-one batted an eyelid. I couldn't chuck him out, nor could I resurrect him - so he is still residing in my Mum's garage with the other tat she wanted to hang on to.

Ready! Steady! Cook!

Topless school girls in national newspapers.


On that vibe there is a 'confessions of a window cleaner' clip someone posted on here once of the floppy haired fella watching schoolgirls in the shower. He says something like "looks like they are growing up fast"...or something similar. Frightening really.

By that I'm not suggesting it was ok, just that having a couple was accepted.

During the school holidays we used to disappear at 9am and re-appear about 5pm for dinner.

No mobiles, no contact.

That would be frowned upon nowadays no doubt.
