Did you grow up around that way? My neck of the woods. You about same age as my dad probably. 

Yeah, making a slide down Argyle Street was a winter highlight, it seemed as steep as flip, bet it ain’t anywhere near as steep as I think it was.

Used to go to the chippies in Dean Street and Moss Street at dinner time for a sixpenny mix. ?

Pop man

Those coloured glass bowls filled with plants. One of them was always pink.

Spider plant's

Wall units

those posters of a bloke holding a baby .

red. black and grey zig zag wall paper.

Those roundabouts in parks that had younger siblings gripping onto a metal bar for dear life.

You may have guessed I grew up in the eighties.

Wax on. wax off everybody

Kids that used to be seen and not heard. Now you can’t shut the buggers up, got an opinion on everything. 

You spend the first few years teaching them to walk and talk then the next god knows how many telling them to sit down and shut up

As well as three points away from home are there any other things which you just don't see any more?

I'll start

Unspooled cassette tape by the edge of the curb

Pipe smokers

Dedicated white dog poo

I will save my dog's next poo and when it turns white, I will dedicate it to you.

Remember parking lights that clipped onto the car's offside window , an oval sticker on the boot that said "Discs " , regular breakdowns and punctures , string backed driving gloves ! 

That made me laugh and reminds me of our music teacher at school. He had an old  Minor 1000 with semaphore indicators that flipped out of the B pillar aft of the front doors ?
