DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN...? It took five minutes for the TV to warm up? Nearly  everyone's Mum was at home when they got home from school? Nobody owned a purebred dog? When a shilling a week was decent pocket money? White dog poo in the street? You only had to be home when the street lights came on?
Your Mum wore stockings that came in two pieces? All your male teachers wore ties  Female teachers had their hair done every  day and wore high heels? You got your windscreen cleaned, oil checked, and petrol pumped, without asking, all for free, every time?
Cereals had free toys hidden inside the box? It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents? Schools threatened to keep kids back a year if they failed. . .and they did? When a Ford Capri was everyone's dream car? No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked?
Lying on your back in the grass with your friends and  saying things like, "That cloud looks like a… “ Playing footy and cricket with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game? Stuff from the shop came without safety caps and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger? When being sent to the headmaster's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited you if your parents heard that you had been sent to the headmaster?
And with all our progress, don't you just wish, just once, you could slip back in time and savour the slower pace, and share it with the children of today? Basically we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much  bigger threat! But we survived because their love was greater than the threat.
Send this on to someone who can still  remember Laurel and Hardy, The Famous Five, Secret Seven, Biggles, the Lone Ranger, Phantom, Roy Rogers and Trigger at the flicks. As well as summers filled   with bike rides,  cricket games, Hula Hoops,    monkey bars,  Frozen jubblies, visits to the  beach and lemonade  powder. Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say,  "Yeah, I remember that"?
I am sharing this with you today because it ended with a double dare to pass it on.                                   To remember what a double dare is, read on. And remember that the perfect age is somewhere between old enough to know better and too young to care.
How many of these do you remember? Sweet cigarettes,  pogo sticks,  marbles,  Home milk delivery in glass bottles with foil tops Newsreels before the movie Sandshoes/Desert wellies Four digit Telephone numbers Press button A then button B 45 RPM records Hi-Fi s Metal ice cubes trays
Mimeograph paper Spud guns Ford Capris Twin Tubs Izal toilet paper Reel-To-Reel tape recorders houses made of cards Meccano Sets Anglo/Bazooka Joe pink bubble gum MoJos/black jacks/fruit salads Two bob for a gallon of petrol
Do you remember a time when... Decisions were made by "eeny-meeny-miney-mo"? "Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest? It wasn't odd to have two or three "Best Friends"?  The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was "boy or girl germs"? Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a catapult? There were no Saturday morning cartoons with 30-minute adverts for action figures? Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles?
The worst embarrassment was being caught playing doctors and nurses by your parents Putting playing cards in the spokes  transformed any bike into a motorcycle? Taking drugs meant the Polio injection in school Nitty Nora Water balloons were the ultimate weapon? If you can remember most or all of these, then you have lived!!!!!!! Pass this on to anyone who may need a  break from their "grown-up" life ...  I double-dare-ya!
