Finally, power cuts on a weekly basis. For some reason every time we had a power cut my dad would get the bread out and make toast using a big long fork and the coal fire. Even if we'd only just had our tea, it didn't matter. The toast always tasted like the nicest toast ever made as well.

With all the organised football at a such a young age these days I wonder if young lads still play knockouts (other areas called this World Cup or Wembley) or headers and volleys.
Going down the park or over the pitch straight after the cup final to try and recreate the winning goal regardless of which team you supported.
