How old were you when..

[happymerryberries]

You first played outside your house?

Went shopping for your mum?

Went to school alone?

Rode a bike?

Went on public transport?

Visited your local town/city with your mates?

For me (in the 60's and 70's)

3, 3-4, 4, 6-7, 11, 13

LOL!

I'm sure there have been older posters (if it helps ) but you and I are the oldest regulars.

Joolstoo - Spinel, who posts mainly on the Philosophy threads, is older than you. Not telling you how old though cos highly likely she would kill me

You first played outside your house?
Probably about 6 or 7 but can't really remember.

Went shopping for your mum?
Same, I should think - shop was only four doors away. I used to go for cigarettes for my mum/grandpa!
-----
Went to school alone?
12, when I started at grammar school.
-----
Rode a bike?
25 and very wobbly - I never did learn properly!
--
Went on public transport?
Apart from school transport? About 14 or 15.

Visited your local town/city with your mates?

14 or 15.

My mum was pretty wary about us going anywhere on our own although oddly she would allow bro and me to go off with a picnic for hours on end.

come on Snugs - dish the dirt

I may have to start a 'who's the oldest Mner' to find out

Oh, yeah this was in 1950/60's.

Played out = probably 7

School alone = 11

Went on public transport = under 1

visited city with mates = 14

Jools - you trying to put my life in danger? . Spinel is my mum so hard to hide from.

Let's just say my sister (eldest) is 45 this year.

suedonim - you're coming up to 33 years - are you in the ancients club too? - or am I being rude ?

another mum and daughter - fantastic gobbledigook is my dd!

another member of Gransnet too!

Well, I'm not as young as I was, Joolstoo!! Two of my children are older than quite a few of the Mumsnetters, though I'm not a granny yet and have been told not to hold my breath.

Oh she would love a Gransnet - complains that she can't find any good chat boards so she's invaded here instead .

very wise to keep it under wraps seudonim - look what happens when you slip up! people remember, then go and repost the thread and tell the world - my own fault I suppose!

well we are mums as well! - if this forum continues there'll be a few more grans I expect - altho' everyone's having their kids later so maybe not

When I used to ask my grandpa how old he was he used to say he was the same age as his tongue and six months older than his teeth. It took me years to work out what he meant!!

I shall look forward to joining Gransnet. We can plot how we're going to get our revenge on our children by filling our grandchildren up with coke and E-numbers and msg so they give their mum and dad gip all night, hehehe!!

have you not seen the interfering mothers and mil threads? - oi vay!

Yes!! I'm taking notes for future reference!!

You first played outside your house? 5

Went shopping for your mum? Can't remember doing this, my mum must be very organised.

Went to school alone? Would walk to my Grandmas after school at about 8 (dragging my 5 year old brother behind me)

Rode a bike? 5 (outside the house hence answer to number1)

Went on public transport? 11 School bus

Visited your local town/city with your mates? 13 to Bury because it was at the end of the bus route with one approved friend only.
