Some good stuff on here mind, a lot of it applying to me as well.
Plus loads of people keeping pet rabbits, which would constantly escape, either into the house leaving rabbit ****e everywhere, making the women go mental as it would be them cleaning it all up, or into next door's garden making the blokes go mental when their veg garden was decimated.
And blokes shovelling up horse ****e as soon as it was dropped and lugging it into their gardens, as if the absolutely giant mountain of the stuff they'd had delivered the week before wasn't enough.
Getting sent to get tabs out of the machine, (located OUTSIDE some shop!) with a half crown.
People walking around with a scarf around their mouths, blood dripping from it and a desperate look in their eye. Your mam tells you they've "just been to the dentist" . You decide you are NEVER going there.
Looking out to see if there was ever a different car in the street, a very rare thing.
Getting involved in a " scramble" when there was a wedding. Then spending anything you picked up on ket and fizzy pop.
Great piles of coal being dropped onto the street outside the houses of those who worked in the pit, and it getting shared out with those who didn't.
Me running around the street with mates and a ball, convinced I would eventually play for Sunderland!
