Got a satsuma and nuts in their shells in our Christmas stocking.
Only 3 channels on the television and they stopped overnight. It took ages to warm up the cathode ray tube so had to put the tv on five minutes before your program started, you had to get up to change the channels, either by twiddling a knob to retune or press in massive buttons which made a loud ker-chunk noise. (Quieter ker sound as you pressed it in, a click then a louder chunk noise when you let loose and it came out at speed.) Only having about an hour of kids programs shortly after school ended.
Little portable black and white tv with the circular indoor aerial you had to twiddle about to get a decent picture, then had to stand holding said aerial to watch as when you let loose the picture started going.
Looking through the Argos catalogue to choose Christmas presents to give mum an idea what we wanted. Gave her a list but knew we were only getting one of them. This went along with the aforementioned stocking which also included the usual socks, handkerchiefs (with flowers embroidered on the corner for me), chocolate and another couple of sweets.
Playing outside our house on the roads (not the main road) as there were not many cars. Playing kerbsie with my brother. Playing split the skipper with brother and his flick knife and no one was bothered that an eight year old and a five year old were playing with knives!
Having a regular fish and chips night once a fortnight on a Friday after mum got paid.
