And any other sport or games we fancied like tracking, tick under release and thunder and lightning; the latter being very appropriate given yesterday's weather over here but for different reasons to sunshine and the seemingly care free days of childhood.

By the way, I loved going to nightclubs but that was so I could play different games with the young ladies of the 80s whose parents are now in their 80s or 90s. If they're still with us of course. How time flies......

That's the scary bit - how time flies. Went to Selly Oak park about 6 months ago and nothing much has changed and remember playing football with my grandad when i was around 10 - the exact spots too! I bet Mick can remember like a jigsaw his nan in her home and conversations now he's actually purchased their house.
