    Clothing rules? Thread bucket? WTF are those?

    I will love the irony if this thread now proceeds to meander on through several pages of rubbish...

    I passed an unwound cassette tape lying in the grass the other day, which prompted a complete nostaligia/look-how-far-technology-has-come trip. It used to be impossible to travel for more than a mile or so without coming across cassette tape strewn across the countryside.

    CDs have done for randomly distributed cassette tape what the internet has done for abandoned jazz mags in the woods...

    :lol: we were just saying on Christmas eve how modern 12 year olds will never experience the frisson of excitement when a cache of discarded jazz mags are discovered in the woods, spilling from a split binbag - clever little buggers are probably Internet porn maestros by that age anyway though :roll:

    Were the jazz mags dumped there or strategically placed there by a watching paedo to lure unsuspecting young boys into the woods?...

    As kids we'd hang around in the woods anyway, jazz mags or not!

    Made me think about some of risks we took climbing trees back then....do kids do that stuff these days?

    Our kids love climbing trees, jumping streams etc - scares the life out of me watching them but it's stuff I used to do - sick of the cotton wool treatment that the H&S PC brigade keep spouting.

    Me too, when we go out walking the kids'll climb owt, I remember them climbing a particular steep embankment when we were walking in the woods and another woman's kids started doing the same and she went berserk, screaming at them to get down. It was only 10 ft high and soft soil, if they slipped at worst they'd just roll down. Furthermore, as I was filming it I'd've got myself £250!

    We didn't just climb trees, we'd play tag in them. The most vivid memory of that I have is when two of us were in a tree with another mate stuck across a gap and being chased so we encouraged him to jump....which he did. We just about clung onto him but not without ripping his clothes as we grabbed them to hang on...we were at least 25ft up! :shock: At 10-11yrs old we didn't think nothing of it and although I don't have kids of my own I'd still be mortified to see anyone elses doing that now. Great times though :wink:

    I found a jazzmag lying nonchalantly on a wall of a desolate old trading estate the other day:

    Bleak and bereft as the scene is, it took me back..! Oh those heady days of randomly discovered pornography

    I'm sorry - but why would a 12 year old be interested in jazz music!? :shock:

    Makes me smile...all this PC crap (and no, that's not a pun at your expense NapD) - you are prevented from videoing your kids at their school play, but do it for You've Been Framed and you can video kids, put the film on national TV and get paid for it.

    Somehow, the balance is mixed up?

    Fortunately our school/nursery teachers ask in a way that would make anyone who didn't want anyone to film/take photos at plays etc look like a right miserable tw@t.

    E.g. said in patronising condescending tone "now, I take it there's no one here who doesn't want people filming or taking photographs? No? Good."

    Again I ask - why would young children (or ANYONE for that matter) be interested in such a thing!? :?
