What puzzles me is how kids' trouser waist bands have dropped more than a foot at the same time we've become paranoid over Garry Glitter 'n Jimmy Savile types

Anyone remember fish and chip crisps? I am just having a bag of salt and vinegar oddities and they taste almost the same! Yummy

I've just come back to this thread after a while, and after reading back a couple of pages - I now need therapy.

THE MOOMINS - who mentioned those?!  That was the most weird trippy cartoon ever - Obviously written while on acid.  It used to scare the crap out of me haha

That was me When you think back to a lot of cartoons, which wasn't written on acid is more to the question lol

I love this. I remember sitting in the car at petrol stations and watching the cost chase the litres. My earliest petrol price memory is in the 70s. (Cost not year). I remember the absolute outrage when it hit a £1. People would love it to go back to that.

Disappearing for hours on bikes, climbing trees and jumping off things as high as you could. Up, down, left, right A hold start (I think this was Sonic Chaos but it might have been something else), my first tv in my room was a huge box with 4 channels and no remote. You had to get up and press the channel you wanted, and another channel button popped out. With the early consoles you had the little device in the back to switch between tv aerial and console input that you had to manually change. I had a master system plus, a PS1, a Sega Saturn and a PS2. My cousin had the NES and SNES. Stealing the plastic 20ps from school because they worked in the machines in the village.

Bay watch, Gladiators and Blind Date were on tv. He man, the Turtles, Ghostbusters, Tom and Jerry, proper Scooby Doo. Trading premier league stickers and shinies at school to complete the book. Playing conkers. Horrendous school dinners. Spice girls were huge.

Good times all in all. I'm only 30 but get called old all the time by the people I work with (they are all between 20 and 25). It's really sad that kids now know none of the joys. You couldn't let your kids go as far from home as I used to at the age I was.

I love technology, the developments over the last decade have been astonishing. But there will become a point where it all gets too much. Some kids are already losing the ability to communicate properly.
