A couple of things recently have reminded me of childhood memories
Firstly I was sorting out some stuff at my parent's house and came across a wooden box, it was originally a musical box but the winder mechanism has long since snapped (no idea who did that? innocent ). Anyway immediately I saw it (haven't seen it for over 25 years) I recalled I use to park my chewing gum in the box. Mum would call me for dinner, I'd park my gum and go back to it after my dinner. The grease marks are still there for the general public to appreciate :lol2:
Secondly, walking up the aisles in the supermarket I noticed my favourite childhood dinner - Fray Bentos steak and kidney pudding. They are sold in pudding type tins and you pierce the lid and steam them to cook. OMG I can still taste the fabulous suet even now. Trouble is now I'm a grown up (well kinda) I read the ingredients on everthing and sincerely wish I hadn't :doh:
What takes you back?

sneaking a bag of 'flying saucer sweets' you know the ones made of rice paper with a bit of sherbert in the middle.
If i see a bag of them anywhere I treat myself, and when I eat them, I am instantly transported to the long hot summer of '76, when i used to sit in my paddling pool eating 10p mixes (when you would get loads of half penny and penny sweets for 10p, instead of just one sweety like these days lol
That and the smell of sun tan oil (not lotion or cream) in that summer of '76 I was 5 years old, and it was the height of fashion and health to have a tan, and I remember being slathered in either FACTOR 2 :eek: sun oil, or just baby oil, so I could fry to a nice deep brown colour........ah the follies of youth!!

Walking around sea-sidey places, seeing all the things with kids names on them - I always wanted a thing - anything - with my name on when I was little, my parents thought that sort of thing was childish so I never had one.
Went to Blackpool few weeks ago, and now they don't make them with my name!
Brought all the pangs back again!

I know wot you mean cherry, when i was a kid my name was unusal and you could never get door plaques etc with it on.........wasn't until i was 18 that i found a keyfob with my name on and sad as it seems i still have it now over 20 yrs later...........
was in the attic today and as a child we had a rocking horse, which i still have today memories won't let me get rid of it even though i know i should and let other children have the pleasure from it that my sister, brother and my daughter have had, But the thought of a stranger having it doesn't bear thinking about!!!!!! I know its selfish but there you go biggrin

Childhood memories... Helfire... it was so long ago!!
There are a couple of things that jogs the memory. The first is a steamed golden syrup pudding served with thick custard. (otherwise known as cardiac arrest on a plate!)It came in a tin and was absolute heaven!!and... and this is going to seem a little weird....
Mud....
I spent so much of my time as a yooof in and around Portsmouth harbour. Sailing, fishing, rowing, mudlarkingand and generally having fun and the smell of the seaweed laying on the mud just brings it all back...(sad git!)
Has anyone noticed that the summers were always sunny and the days went on forever....aaaaaarrrrgggghhh... someone stop the planet, I want to get off!!!

Well, mine was common in the 60's. If I changed it now to Olivia, Grace or Jessica I'd be fine!
