Do kids still meet up and play outside.

 

Not like we used to, but I do see kids walking down to our nearby park with mates and a football for a kick-around.

 

BTW, I can recall the last time me and my mates played out together. We played wall football and kerbie at the end of the summer before we went to different secondary schools. 1966 August. Everyone wanted to be Bobby Moore or Jack Charlton. Apart from me. I was Gordon Banks. 

 

I feel quite sad now, looking back on those carefree days. Experiences with my friends helped shape me. Maybe I helped shape them.

Thanks for putting the extra info in brackets because for a moment I thought you meant the newspaper, or the star.

The sun isn't a planet. It is... a star.

They're throwing it a person of colour that they stripped and handcuffed to a lamppost as part of a festive stop and search.

People reading newspapers on a train, or indeed anywhere else in public. 

Before I retired always bought a daily paper (usually The i) to read at lunchtime in the canteen. Always read back to front too. Starting with the sports pages first

Back in the day we all thought we were so cool with our candy cigarettes .

Smoking in childrens programs.

There's a scene in a Thunderbirds episode for example, where Lil - Lady Penelopes chef - has a fag on whilst cooking her Ladyships meal.

Imagine that today!
