I can remember not having a fridge, we had a larder, you put your milk on the windowcill at night, doors were never locked. We went out in the morning to play and came back when it was getting dark. We didnt have mobile's we didnt need them. We played on rope swings over the burn, went out on our "big" brothers bikes that they had out grown but painted another colour and no one laughed. God this had made me realised how much time has changes and most certainly not for the better. TV it was black and white and only really posh people had phones, some even shared the line! |

Good grief this is an old thread! Not seen this one before! I remember when........ we lived in the tenamant blocks in Glasgow, and we played in the middens after school (the old stone bin shelters to those not in the know, lol), they were our dens, our gyms and our hidey holes! We shouted up to our mums to fling us a piece out if we were hungry. We played with scooshie bottles in the summer (empty washing up liquid bottles filled with water), we used the putty from newly fitted windows in the school as plasticine! We stayed out all day on our bikes, ran riot round the city streets, but never got up to anything bad. We gave up our seats on the bus to old ladies. Us girls played at the entrance to the 'close' with our dolls. We played marbles on the stanks!!(drain covers). Oh I could go on all day, what stifled lives our children lead! |

This really does bring it all back eh? We jumped the burn or the stank (river or ditch) mostly missed it. and that was "bad" to come home covered in mud! We camped out in the back garden with palls in the summer. We had a field day just being kids. My 5 year old wanted to know how babies got in your tummy yesterday! Shows you how things have changed.  |
