   Ride around the neighborhood and cause trouble...occasionally we'd go out into the woods and shoot stuff...

   Race cars......street racing......before that build hutties in the woods, and run around at the beach. Set fire to stuff. We got caught building forts with the farmer's new stooks and he and his son chased us all for miles. I had to go back and rescue my twin sister who got her cardi hooked on a barbed wire fence. She was a pussy! :roll: Here we are dressed for church: http://dbg.agentstepp.com/twins.jpg

   We in Britain were never allowed a childhood. We worked in factories making a few pennies to buy enough gin for our parents and only had time to sleep five hours a day 10 to each bed - but we never complained. We had the Beano every Thursday which cheered us up tremendously. :mrgreen:

   I guess what you mean is what childhood would have been like, for kids in our area, going back in old times or did you just mean from our own personal childhood, anyway, from historical point of view children maybe as young as thirteen or even younger would have been sent down mines (mostly boys) to earn a living or go searching for coal on mountains, dicipline in those times was pretty harsh too, being caned for the smallest offence, surviving in those times would have been very hard. From a personal point of view when I was younger I enjoyed playing lego, mucky fighting with my mates, playing soldiers. When we were younger where I lived there was proper 'white christmas'es' and playing in the snow, building a snowman, throwing snowballs at each other and going down a hill on a slay (I remember my grandfather making me a small sley) loads of fun. Christmas seems to have lost a lot of its magic, gone too commercialised. The spirit of it has died away, now its just about spending a lot of money.
