Walked to school with a friend, both age five. The lollypop lady put us over the road outside school.
Cars with no seatbelts in the back. Standing up chewing on the top of the front seat. Seatbelts in the front weren't retractable, you adjusted them to fit. No head rests.
Playing out as a preschooler, in the dark with one preschooler friend.
Roaming to the next village age 10 crossing a 70mph dual carriageway. Playing in the stream, wandering round the woods and the dump (waste ground with lumps and hollows) playing in the building foundations of the new builds, wandering around building sites of houses being built.
Going to playgroup in the back of the leaders car. We ran off and got lost for quite a while as building work meant they were meeting in a different room.
Outside toilets at my mum's school where I accompanied her until I started school. Used to go and play in there with the big girls. (Top infants)
Going to school with my mum when I was poorly and being put on a cushion in the book corner to lie down. From age 7 I was left alone at home poorly. Mum popped in at her lunchtime, then dad popped in a couple of hours later at his lunchtime.
Had my own key at age 7. Latch key kid. Wandered round the neighbouring kids houses. Mum used to stand in the back garden and yell up the street so I would come home.
Being poorly in school and being driven home in the front seat of the heads car. Being allowed to let myself in even if no-one was home. I lay on the floor of the living room as I felt grim and was very sick later.
Lay down to sleep on the back seat of the car going on holiday
Pe in vest and navy knickers.
