I remember all of them, plus others, such as playing 'out' all day, only coming home when I was hungry, or when it got dark.

I agree about telling grandchildren: I read recently that the best way to keep social history alive is for grandparents to do this, as parent/children contact is too close history-wise.

Taking this up, over a period of several weeks, I put about 35000 words on paper, firstly listing the years, and adding notes to each as I remembered things. I wouldn’t go as far as saying it was my autobiography, just a lot of very fond memories.

More for the list

Frozen Jubblies
Owning a sheath knife
A book of logorithms in maths lessons

(My first car was a 1937 Morris 8 Tourer.......)
