Kids outside playing games - muck fights, 40 40, bull dog, kerbs, head flicks, world cup, tennis when wimbledon is on. 
Kids fixing their own bikes, making home made ramps.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Ash trays at every chair in the house. Remember the wooden towers that used to be beside the chairs with the steel ashtray sat in them. Cant even begin to imagine what id do if somebody came into my house and sparked up a ciggie

Lax parenting.  Back in the 80's early 90s you'd be up to all sorts and your parents never raise an eyebrow.  You'd be 8 and gone for hours and would be climbing high walls, messing around abandoned buildings, construction sites, playing with matches, burning stuff etc... Swinging off ropes in the woods, doing BMX Evil Knievel jumps over your friends lying on the ground.

In more recent times, during COVID where you could order someone to arrive with a keg in their van for pints. 

Screen savers or phone wallpapers from the newspaper -No Fear.

Thats right. I think the priest would also come to the house the afternoon of the stations and bless the house as far as I remember. Would pop in for a cup of tea in one or two of the neighbours houses too. 

Priest was probably riding the host too 😉

Whatever happened to Doncaster Belles?  They was the gold standard for womens football Jeff.   
Whatever happened to"Liverpool Ladies" or "Arsenal Ladies"?


Pain in the hole seeing Arsenal 1  Aston Villa  0 flash up on sky sports news and takes you a second or two to cop its a womens game.

Recently heard Talkin Bollox call kerbs paths. Mate of mine from the Navan Road said he calls it the same. 

The tennis thing died out when the newer estates had tarmac on the roads instead of the concrete squares. The older estates were ready made for tennis when Wimbledon was on.
