Good days on the whole GP, plus if someone was being a ..... *searches for suitable word*..... silly billy and getting on your wick, you could give them a slap and that would be the end of it. |

Our Geography teacher was the only one among all the teachers who made you bend over to administer the strap. I always wondered about him. :-0 :-0 :-0 ;-) |

I agree with so much of it and NO I wouldn´t change my upbringing either, the only thing that I am strict about now is my kitchen BUT I do not have coloured boards. I would like to say I have 1 but I have 3 and I use them all the same but I do clean them and I do keep an eye on my fridge, I used to date dot everything for awhile. !! |

I agree with all of this. I remember when I was little and my brothers climbing on a wall. Mum shouted, if you fall off that wall, don't come crying to me or I will give you something to cry for.lol |

Makes me wonder how future generations will cope/survive having no sense of danger etc, it's bad enough now IE schools having a 20 mph limit because the children have no road sense because not many walk to school anymore. :-( |

If someone had said to me in the 1950's that instead of using the telephone box at the end of the street you will sometime in the future carry a small phone in your pocket and be able to phone anyone in the world, I would have said they were bonkers. :-0 :-0 :-0 |

GP, I passed my driving test in 1998 and my husband bought me my first mobile phone, it was bigger than my pocket but I can't imagine life without one now. |

Indeed GP, one time Dad fell over in a shop and they got hold of me because I was the first name in his phone, he put me in as A1 daughter, he ended up in Hospital but ok, another occasion Mum was lost (she had altzimers) luckily the shop she was in knew her so phoned Dads mobile. |
