To think revisiting things from your childhood is fraught with potential childhood-ruining disappointment

I used to play a computer game as a kid called Dizzy Goes to Treasure Island. I have fond memories of it.

I played it as an adult and it was clunky, total crap. Part of my childhood died.

On that basis I’m never revisiting Findus Crispy Pancakes.

Scampi and Lemon NikNaks were my ultimate favourite crisp in the late 80s early 90s. I’d love to try them again but can never find them anywhere.

Maybe for the best, I’d hate to spoil that every Friday night for years memory.

I still love scampi and lemon nik nans. Occasionally they ll do a special and uou van get them in supermarkets but they are available online. Last time I had them, 2yrs ish I still really liked them!

Oh no, I still love Alan Garner! The Weirdstone of Brisingamen is one of my favourite all time books.

The Owl Service on the other hand, I agree. Feels very dated and odd.

I still re-read my Noel Streatfeild books and The Dark is Rising series; they are fabulous.

I did have a great walk on Alderley Edge a couple of years back!
