what do you miss from your childhood?

i miss chip and fish


and cheesy kong fu movies  

I loved fish and chips Steve! These are similar but once you open them you want more

Ooh I loved those fish n chips. My Nans roast when I came home from Sunday school, if it was lamb I would pinch the little bone off the leg, cooked in an old fashioned oven by the open fire  

Liquorice pipes I used to love them

Yeah I miss sundays at my nan and grandad's, all the family together for a roast, brill  My grandads youkshire and season puddings were amazing

My parents paying the bills  

Honestly not alot, but i do miss christmas with my dad, and the lead up to it, with the days out and him going mad with buying pressies and decorating the house

i miss no cares in the world no worries about walking the streets at 10 at night at age of 10 no worries about money no worries about whating anything new as you always got it (eventually lol )

Kids actually playing outside. Also, less responsibility was very nice! Some things are best when remembered though... I was in a hurry to grow up...

chocolate tasting like chocolate should ,it just does'nt taste the same any more  

Being a child mostly with not a care in the world. Our Christmases used to be great too with a huge sack of presents under the tree, living at home with all my brothers being around, they are all older than me, I was always the baby. They are all so funny too and i spent most of my childhood laughing at all their stories at dinner time - happy days.

Patiently waiting til my brother had eaten all of his Christmas chocolate before I started any of mine, and the treasure hunt we used to do, one present an hour to make the day last. That and going to the football with my dad

All of the above! 

Woolworths pick'n'mix!!!!

If we're just talking foody things - the huge range of sweeties we had to choose from. I feel so sorry for children these days - jelly/foamy things seem to be about all available to them. Where have tiger nuts, liquorice imps, strawberry pompoms, chewtoffs, coconut ice, palm toffee bars, real chocolate etc etc etc gone?

The ability to spend every day outside doing stuff and all it cost me was 50p in sweets , maximum

Ooh and listening to the Goon show on car journeys

When I first moved out I used to go round and visit my mum once a week with a carrier bag and nick loads of food from her freezer  I miss that too.
She lives 350 miles away, otherwise I'd still be doing it

My brothers both did this I'm pretty sure they'd still do it now given half the chance
