    Scraping your hand along the 'honeycomb' bit of the supermarket freezer section ...

    ... just to get the ice off.

    Or was I the only one that did that?

    Ee - wellies and short pants. What a memory...

    I remember when I was about 6 setting off for school in wellies and short pants with at least a foot of snow down.</p>

    My Dad had set off at 4am and WALKED from home (Athersley North) to Barrow pit at Worsborough.</p>

    I jumped in his footsteps down the path, then came to a stop. He had gone down the street and I needed to go up. Apart from his footsteps the entire street was a blanket of virgin snow.</p>

    The snow was so deep that it was higher than the tops of me wellies - so back to bed for me!!</p>

    Sunday night ...

    ..... in the old 'tin' bath, in front of the kitchen fire, then watching my dad, empty it at the back door, the bath water used to flow down the back yard like a flood.</p>

    And, has it's that time of the year, the Bonfire night party we had in our back yard, everyone of the neighbours joined in, supplying home made Pie &amp; peas, 'bonfire' toffee, toffee apples and to finish off, baked potatoes, that were cooked, buried under the bonfire. Oh! .... 'proper' fireworks, Cathrine wheels, Roman candles and Jumping jacks.</p>

    RE: Always was scared of the Hillies when that girl was murdered there

    It always sends a shiver down my spine, when I walk past the 'capped' shaft of the old Lundhill pit.

    RE: Not a lot really

    aye it weren't brill. Cold dirty house, no money, Mum and Dad who didn't get on etc. It wasn't all bad I have a close friend who I met in my early teens who I still knock around with. His Mum ans Dad were a proper Mum and Dad and we used to do the normal things like bunnywooding, trying to nick the Witchcroft centrepole. Playing football all day in winter and cricket in summer. We talk about those times, he remembers them as halcyon days he'd go back tomorrow. I have a different view.</p>

    Now I have a good family life, wife who is also my friend, two young adult kids that I adore. Nice house, car etc....I'm not rich but I've enough money to do things like footie and holiday etc.. it can be tight at times, but I'm happy with my lot. I don't mind the responsibility that all this brings because the benefits are far better.</p>



    It for this reason that I don't really get involved in the nostalgia trip. I have to admit I am slightly envious of the people who do look back on their past life with great fondness.</p>

    It's like being in the <strike>psiact syciat  </strike>shrink's chair  !!</p>

    Also, .......

    .... my uncle buying sheep's heads (which I carried on the bus, in a big leather bag, to his house on Pitt st, Low Valley) from the butchers at the side of the Prince, on the High St. in Wombwell, to feed his dogs.</p>
