Fred,
He was supposed to have been fixing the TV aerial during a Man U match and he fell off his roof.

My kids love hearing about the 'olden days'. They think we had a blast because me and my mate used to cycle a 14 mile round trip every day of the summer holidays. I had my old bike, rescued from god knows where and wire wooled back to the chrome. My cousin used to ride the whole way there sat on the handlebars, trying to keep her feet away from the front wheel. My mate had her bike with one small dog sat in the front basket and the other one sat in a picnic basket tied to the back. Oh how we laughed when we got to the bottom of a rather large hill to see the back basket had slipped round and the dog hanging on for dear life, practically balancing on the handle! All this just to look after a horse! A mental horse at that, we used to play rodeo all day ........ and after all that, our bums were never sore! (put me on an exercise bike in a gym for 10 mins these days and I can't walk for a fortnight!)
Hmmmm lost the plot a bit there reminiscing. What my eldest daughter keeps on about is for us to build a go-kart ....... but you just can't get any wheels. Gone are the days where old, broken Silver Cross prams were a common sight rolleyes

Yes indeed those were the days how lucky we all were how could we forget:-
No computors
no mobile phones no dvd or vcr's
public phone boxes
no automatic washing machines
no dishwashers
cars that always broke down
getting up in the mornings with ice on the inside of the windows
no central heating
having to feach coal in to get the fire going
no showers
carpets that stopped short of the wall with a lino edgeing
no tumble dryers
no domestic freezers
black and white tellies
3 day weeks
crippling inflation
minimal home ownership
pubs that opened too late and shut to early
shops that shut midweek and never opened sunday
blankets instead of duvets
crital windows that you could get your fingers through when they were shut and the paint fell off as soon as you put it on
push bikes without gears
string vests and y fronts
no taxi companies
What idiot wrote this and pissed on my nostalgia pararade sad
