| 710581 | 2008-10-09 20:42:00 | We also lived near a railway and used to spit onto the steam engines as they passed under the over bridge. It made a sizzling sort of noise, great fun! Also used to put pennies on the lines and get them back when they were all squashed flat. | lakewoodlady (103) | ||

| 710585 | 2008-10-10 02:23:00 | Hell no! Metla's post applied to me perfectly, apart from the fact I don't have a kid. I meant school was the same for me 10 years ago as it was for Metla 25 years ago, just I don't have a kid like he does. :o I definitely could have said that better. /slap |

| 710588 | 2008-10-10 18:03:00 | You were lucky. We lived in a rolled up newspaper in a septic tank. We used to get up at six, clean the newspaper, eat a crust of stale bread, work fourteen hours at the mill, day in, day out, for sixpence a week, come home, and dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt. You try to tell that to the young people of today, and they won't believe you. (apologies to Monty Python) |
