    The 70's, everything about them. I wouldn't change my childhood for one nowadays even with all the luxury and technology, no way.

    Laikin 'art

    Just calling for mates, and playing out all day. Football, at the park, all day til it was tea time.
    Not possible nowadays, but I can't ever remember whining to my mum that my legs ache from too much football, like my kids tell me now after an after school club.

    Oh, and the Ben shaws pop van. . . And running errands to to the corner shop for the old lady across the road. And eating BREAD and DRIPPING and not worrying about it.

    Winning promotion and Being in Premiership.......

    Great times but not old enough to be out round town joining in the celebrations ive seen many times since in town centre.

    Still - We made it crack that night in Darton Rec with our White Lightening. May have even spoilt ourselves for the special occasion and had Special Brew and Thunderbirds just to speed things up!!:D

    Re: Hedge hopping

    Where I grew up there was a long road, downhill with about 30 houses on it all with similar 3ftish high hedges. It became known as The Grand National. Obviously I never took part.

    Too right, all my summer school holidays in the 70's & 80's seemed like they were just sunny all the time.

    A week in Filey, Primrose Valley or Cleethorpes.

    Days before PC t0ssers ruined things.

    Corner shops, single cigs, money back on empty pop bottles, chopper bikes, playing football with our kid (ponty72) all day.

    How about

    Good manners, patience, tolerance, people having some sense of self-respect, fame not being a career choice, a lesser gap between the haves and have nots and football being an accessible sport with a relatively even playing field (I'm not talking about the pitch at Ward Green here).

    Oh, and toffee and mallow eggs. I used to love em.

    Re: Hedge hopping

    The mines, steelworks and factories gone from South Yorkshire. It's what made the area and the people. Successive governments with their vindictive and/or idiotic new technology agendas have ripped the heart out of South Yorkshire and it has never been replaced properly. Instead an economy built on la-la services that can be cut by others when the money runs out.

    Listening to the great foundaries of Sheffield hammering away in the night, merry-go round trains shunting all the time. Getting up at half past four to go to the pit sat on the bus in a fog of cig smoke you could cut with your hand. It felt good to go to work then, you could actually see what you had helped create in the coal stocking areas, steel stockyards and lorries leaving the factory gates.

    B*stards.

    Halcyon days and lost to all the young folk these days.
