Fishing trips which were a real adventure. Ponds and lodges overgrown and it always seemed we were the first to discover em...everyone of those beautiful waters I can think of now is a commercial fishery stocked with identical carp.

Baking bread in the oven to make ground bait.

 

Porn mags under bushes.

 

Tuck shop at school. Singing hymns every morning....always a teacher who played piano.

 

Eley wasps.

 

Hedge hopping.

Lol was that the spectrum +2 trigg then after came the Commodor 64 n if someone had one of them they were the talk of the street lol even tho like you say the cassets took ages to load n that screeching sound they made, then a few years later Nintendo n sega hit the streets n brought video games to a whole new level, later on I never botherd with play stations n that I'd lost interest but remember back to the Nintendos n segas they were mustard at the time..

Time of my life the 80's. As a kid it was brilliant growing up where we lived.

What about BMX bikes ? Me and our kid got Raleigh Burners and they were the mutt's nuts.

The lad who's parents owned the bakery in the village had a GT and a PK ripper and they had the mag Skyway wheels on. They were the best bikes we'd ever seen lol
