Of course I had a pea shooter, catapult,air riffle, shot gun. I was a boy and a man. Now i'm just a silly old codger. Jane would agree as would most of you.

Must tell you. Our kettle filter is all cracked , so I ordered a new one from Spares2 g# When it arrived it wouldn't fit, so sent it back asking for the correct one. Had an Email to say it was the right one, So I said OK send it back. when it arrived yesterday ROS fitted it within 2 minutes. I called her a smart ARS# Arn't you woman annoying !!!!

You youngsters talk about all these different sweets, which wern't around my local shop. Mars bars, gobstoppers, loose sweets in jars, liquorice sticks and wheels, but we couldn't afford them.Once I got my milkround then paper round things changed. But I needed a bike, fishing rod and tackle,sports things., and didn't realy have a sweet tooth.Thats why I kept all my own teeth, till after my stroke, then they seemed to work loose at the slightest thing, and had to come out.

I had my gun and caps,but no pea shooter.I also had a train set ,and a garage with lots of cars.Anyone would think I was a Tomboy lol
Dad made the garage for my Christmas present one year.He made my dolls house,and go cart ,oh and stilts.
Us ladies aren't annoying Frank,just clever !!

Pear Drops.I loved them but boy didn't they do awful things to the skin in your mouth .Especially the hard ridge just behind the top teeth,

Chillblains--remember them--also my Gramps telling Mum the cure was---To---PEE'' on them and her laughing yelling But she's a GIRL --DAD??

A lot of thing we had diffarent names for --do recall choco cigar/pipe
& camp cot roll of canvas & two long poles you put through each end
in fact We would go camping the whole family we had a 99year lease on land Grandmother/ Grandfather/son's/daughter's/Grandchildren and any of the family on leave---We always buired the cooking pots/pans cast iron --some bed's My Grandfather's big brass all greased and wraped in oil cloth.--which is still there We slept in & eat in BELL TENTS.

FRANK YOUR NOT A SILLY OLD CODGER---(( WELL-WAIT-A-MINUTE-I'M-THINKING))) NO YOUR NOT--LOL XXX YOUR --OUR----HERO---
BATMAN--SUPERMAN-- WONDERMAN -FLANMAN---ALL ROLLED INTO ONE---WE LOVE 'S YA XXX

WHEN roundtrees jelly came out we thought it as good as sweets would eat it ((was-in-solid-form) out of the box-----

Just what we spoke about other day Elizabeth --RESPECT---

I went camping on Dartmoor with school.I think it was for geography.It rained the whole time and in the middle of the night a herd of cattle trampled the toilet tent.The ground sheets didn't fit properly and everything got soaked,and the tents stunk.I was never that keen on camping.I like my home comforts too much lol.
I think a bit of hanky panky went on too between some of the girls and boys.

OH, Jane, did you miss out. Did the teachers behave themselves ?????

Not telling Frank lol No I behaved that year.I only remember my geography teacher being there.He was busy chucking boys out of girls tents half the time I think.
I don't think I ever imagined teachers misbehaving.Although thinking back I reckon some did !!My French teacher was a bit of a one.

Chris is just about to dig up the potatoes in the last bag.We have had a bet as to how many we will get .We both said 12 lol.So no bet !

Elizabeth how are you .Thank you so much for your kind
thoughts and advice will not worry anymore just found it
sad that a person can be so nasty was bought up to
respect people and found that hurtful but you are right
AND THANKS . I found a site that sells the Lion ointment
Rose & Co £3.99 called Lioness ointment
and was looking for some Zam Buck ointment for my
brother it is Rose & Co ointments and embrocations just tap it
in .

Well it is 30 potatoes!!!!!!!!!!!!.Quite a surprise.They look really good too.

Jane already knew everyones age
Mel told me before I joined the site
only asked Shirl on Tracey because
she sent a message to someone saying
i think Sheila is the same age as me.
then I found a mail about Cairns me having asked her a
question. I asked how old she was because
she had said I was the same age
then I said thats if you do not mind me asking some
people do not like to give there age Then everyone
sent their age to me including david who I have never
had a message from. I do not think it matters how old we all are we all are on the site to chat and I enjoy the site.

HAVE JUST FOUND OUT SOMEONES ALREADY TOLD YOU ABOUT THE LIONS SORRY. ELIZABETH

Hi
OH going to watch his Tour de France in about 1/2 hours time so I have come on here to do a bit of family research, I have found what I was looking for on Ancestry so very happy.
Need to bring in the washing it has stayed dry for the last few hours so It's all dry.
A lot of potatoes Jane , Bet that will keep you in tatties for a while

I had a Saturday job washing cars at a garage. This is long before the automated car wash.I was about 14-15.The occupants stayed in the car.I distinctly recall enjoying the view of the female drivers or passengers and so often the male driver would get out to tell me I'd missed a bit

Naughty Boy David lol

You obviously know exactly what I meant Jane.

Natural Human behaviour David.I was doing the same thing at that age ,but at the males lol.I still like to look !!
Anyway enough of that lol,before I get carried away lol

I must have enjoyed my work, the men used to get so vexed lol

I always remember one Valentines Day when my Dad gave Mum a card.She thought it was lovely .......until she discovered he had sent the same card to 2 other ladies(Friends of the family) as a joke .She was really miffed lol.I don't think he was ever allowed to forget that.Poor Dad ,he didn't dream that Mum would have got the hump .
I will say Night Night now,sleep tight everyone and see you all again in the morning.xx

Night Night All
Back tomorrow
