[QUOTE="Lesleywo, post: 777015, member: 112692"] I remember as kids we were always outside playing in the fresh air. Used to go off on our own after breakfast and come home for lunch. Then off again 'up the common' til tea time. Sadly in the world we live in today we can't allow young kids to go off on their own. Used to love the light summer evenings, playing rounders in the street, then up the road with a sixpence for some chips, if our cousins came over. Kids today spend too much time in front of the tv/computer/xbox etc. Shut themselves away from the world with their ipods. No wonder there is an epidemic of obesity. Mothers working and relying on takeaway/convenience processed foods. Remember the pleasure we got from playing marbles or dibs? Oh for the simple life .... [/QUOTE]
