Actually I didn;t have a phone in spain, or when I worked for BT, but as a kid we had a home phone, every ****ing normal person did.
We had a phone and you had a party line ! You used to pick it up to ring somebody and there was someone already occupying the twat .
Hello is that Erm Yes. You coming down the park No, it's bath night But it's not Sunday. I know mate, but i'm home alone with my sister, see you tomorrow.
What!? How old are you, when do you think mobile phones appeared And as it happens, yeah i was a poor kid, and ?
he's on about a home phone, handy if ya in i guess. This is my point about today at the barbers, 3 Erns,
As it happens i did have a home phone, but that wasn't point of the topic. But lowered himself slagging off poor kids.
The cùnts a plank. Spent most of his adult life as a looky looky man in the tourist hell holes of the Costa Blanca and thinks he's was an international bright young thing. He was a Eurotramp ffs.
I grew up on a ****ty estate in south east London, which was full of poverty, drugs and crime. But I don't remember any of that affecting me, it just sort of happened all around me. Life as a kid on that estate was brilliant, loads of freedom and loads of mates. Looking back we were given freedom that kids today just do not seem to have at all. We used to get into all sorts of mischief, but that was about as far as it went. Breaking into some old flats, smashing the windows and graffiting the walls. We broke into an old garage and claimed it as our den, even had a sofa and a table in there. I set fire to an old car in a bit of woodland once, which then exploded, that was fun. I suppose we all did things that as an adult would have earned you a criminal record, but I never got caught Some of my mates went properly off the rails as we got older, they got into petty crime, robbery, car theft etc. I was quite good at football and swimming, so I poured my energy into that instead. Then I got into Music and LSD and became a Hippy lol
You are firmly in the majority. None of us had much back in them days. I know that I had clothes handed down to me from my older brother.
It depends what you count as poor ! Probably just a lot of working class families that just got on with it , had a lot of stuff on tick. A bike for xmas every 2/3 years and a week on hols usually camping or maybe a caravan ! All pretty normal to me and ****ing ace
Same here. My parents didn’t have a lot of money. We lived in a council house on a big estate but I never remember going without anything. I had all of my brother’s hand me down clothes and clothes and shoes etc from older friends families. My mum used to save up with a catalogue to get us Christmas presents. We had things like bikes and Tonka toys. And my parents always made sure we had a two week holiday in the summer. Usually at a bungalow in Yorkshire that my mums cousin owned or at a caravan park in cornwall. Sometimes we’d go on holiday at my aunt and uncle’s house in Sussex, when they went to Spain for the week. I think the most important thing for kids growing up is the love from their parents, being taught good manners and having good discipline. The material stuff is inconsequential really as long as you’ve got the basics.
