    I remember the sudden charge for the ecit doors to avoid standing fot the queen.

    But if the anthem started anyone who hadn't reached the exit doors stopped where they were until it ended!

    If you had got through the doors you were free to go.

    I'm 59 & 3/4s, I recognise virtually everything, (apart from a few modern items - post 80s). What's the fossil threshold & do I get a badge (or government allowance!£

    Queuing for tickets to see a band on a first come first served basis. I queued round the block to get tickets to see wings in the Capitol in the 70s. These days all the tickets are bought up en bloc by third party greedy companies and then re sold on line for about 5 times the price, scandalous.

    Another one I can remember is getting the inside of my thighs chapped through wearing short grey flannel (rough as hell) trousers.

    Radio One Road Show down Barry beach where some perverted 40 something DJs would get to fondle young girls whilst Smiley Miley would pick the biggest clueless tw@ts from the thronging masses to do 'bits and pieces' (feckers wouldn't know a thing) and then you'd get a band like Bad Manners miming to My Boy Lollipop

    I once 'saw' Radio Ones Mike Reid do a DJ set at a nightclub in Great Yarmouth in 1985 he walked on stage in his mod suit and straight mini tie and had a pint thrown at him - he told us all to feck off and walked back off stage

    Saved us from listening him destroy a Secret Affair song anyway

    Playing in the woods, building dens and dams.

    Picking bluebells and delivering bunches of them to all the fit mums in the street.

    Street water fights.

    Playing in Rumney river.

    Having a paper round.

    Getting the bus to town and then legging it down to Ninian Park.

    I also had 6 off Claude. I am convinced to this day that the man was a sadist who got pleasure out of inflicting pain.

    As for the cinema does anyone remember this every Saturday morning at the Olympia I think.

    Catchy little tune from the late 50's/early 60's.

    It's really strange some of the things that people think that kids don't do these days. Playing in the woods or playing football in the street?
