Remember when......

[Elgraman]

After 5 minutes I noticed the car.

 

[JohnK]

Second from left you say? I would.

When I first looked at that picture I was sure that I did...
knowing its actually @LeStempy I hope I didn't

 

[LeStempy]

It was my glam rock phase.

The flat chest was the give away for me...

I left school at 14.
I walked out of the school at 3.45pm and started work at 4pm.
I worked 44 hours a week.
Friday came and I got paid.
My take-home pay was £3. 5s 5d. (£3.27p = 7.5p an hour.)
My Mother took the £3 and I got the rest, which meant that I was getting less than 1p an hour.

The good old days? Stuff 'em! I couldn't afford a new pair of shoes for work when the only pair I owned had a hole in the sole. I cut pieces of cardboard to put inside the shoe and put shoe polish on the cardboard to make it less obvious. I did things that I'm not proud of just to get by. I left home in the north east at 16 after getting caught by the police for twoc and, with the help of my probation officer, went to work in London for a much better wage and living arrangements.
Life improved after that...

Had to Google twoc...
A trial without catheter (TWOC) is when a catheter (the tube inserted into your bladder to drain urine) is removed from the bladder for a trial period to determine whether you are able to pass urine spontaneously.
Bet the police wouldn't get involved with that these days

There weren't any 20mph zones though

I've had that kind of twoc John and can tell you that catheters are a pain in the arse willy.
I had an enlarged prostate and my stupid GP said I'd be OK - even though I was wanting to pee all the time and wasn't sleeping.
I called an emergency GP out at midnight and he got an ambulance organised pronto!
I got into hospital and they scanned my bladder and then put a catheter in. I was so exhausted after not sleeping for a week that I fell asleep as soon as the pressure was relieved. While I slept for a couple of hours three and a half litres of urine drained out and they said it had backed up into my kidneys etc and I now had sepsis!
I had to have a catheter in until they could get my prostate sorted. This was going to take at least six months. I put up with the *&^%*&$ cathether for as long as I could and then I went private and had it done within a week. Bliss!!!

My "loosie" was 5p with a match at the local Kiosk en-route to school.
The cigarettes were menthol to lure the kids in to buying them.( Consulate Brand )

we were minors of the ABC:

We are the boys and girls well known as
Minors of the ABC
And every Saturday all line up
To see the films we like, and shout aloud with glee
We like to laugh and have a singsong
Such a happy crowd are we.
We're all pals together.
We're minors of the A-B-C.

Modern day snowflakes couldn't cope with it, they would need counselling for the mental stress.

It's more likely to be me. I was a milk monitor.
