Glad I Lived When I Did

Re: Glad I Lived When I Did

I wouldn't want to be young in this day. It's just so materialistic .

Re: Glad I Lived When I Did

Yep me too!

Re: Glad I Lived When I Did

Say the same at least once a week

Re: Glad I Lived When I Did

Yes, it's a phrase I use all the time!

Re: Glad I Lived When I Did

Growing up in our days was full of fun and adventure....

Re: Glad I Lived When I Did

Not really, in most respects my three grandchildren have better childhood than I had.
I spent some of my childhood cold and hungry, I wouldn't want to go back there...


They spend half their life in wellingtons out in the countryside,
The three littles with a friend


Last week in a stream...


The school they are luck enough to attend has 'woodland school' once a week where they play in mud,build huts and sit around a camp fire ...




I don't think children could have a better life

Re: Glad I Lived When I Did

You prefer the austerity of Britain in the 40s and 50s to today?

You must be mad. (Though I am not quite comparing like with like as my grandkids are growing up in Australia)

Re: Glad I Lived When I Did

The whole point is that as children we did not know any different. It was austere to our parents maybe, not us and we enjoyed ourselves mostly outside all day.

Re: Glad I Lived When I Did

But if the technology existed back then, would we have done anything different?
