Things you remember from your childhood that would not be ok today!

Light-hearted and inspired by the comments on the baby in the pub thread (and TikTok!)😀

But what are things you remember from your childhood that people would be absolutely outraged at today?!

I remember being babysat by our neighbours child when I was 4/5 and she was about 12/13. God knows what she would have done if anything went wrong as there were no mobile phones to get hold of our parents?! 🤔

Also remember going to the pub in the summer but kids weren't allowed inside so we sat in the beer garden with a coca cola and bag of crisps whilst the adults were inside 😂

going to a school 15 miles away by bus aged 6.

Having one of those things Teachers used to wipe chalk off Blackboards classrooms thrown at me.

Being made to sit on the knee of a relative or friend of your parents despite not seeing them often, therefore not really knowing them and feeling uncomfortable.
