The girls in your 6th form class having 25 year old boyfriends that picked them up in their Fiesta.
Weird one that, looking back.
Bill Wyman having a 13 year old girl friend when he was 47 and he was never charged despite Mandy Smith saying they had sex from when she was 14 ! They married when Mandy was 18 but divorced two years later as dirty Bill preferred younger women ! Gary Glitter has always felt this wasn't fair.
Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
Park keepers and 12 grass Tennis courts that were always busy at the weekend Seeing local bill on a bike Just the one bag lady or Tramp in the locality. Gypsy Tart and custard. Chocolate pudding and chocolate sauce. Traveling to London before the IRA or any other terrorists spread their hatred. Going to Butlins with Parents, Brothers and Aunt, Uncle and cousins. The smell of the drains at the valley on occasions after entering the Sam Bartram entrance. Individual fruit pies and getting the classified newspaper on a Saturday evening with the football scores. The Coal man Rag and bone man. The insurance man. Avon calling lady. Delivering papers and taking 15 minutes longer on 'girlie mag' morning. Drinking full cream milk at School. Being beaten by a psycho teacher when 8.

Yeah, and even when that wasn't the norm, when I was at school in the 90s, the 17 year old girls had much older boyfriends.
Remember being 15 and taking whe I'm 23, 24 I'll have a car and can pull all the girls in the Upper 6th. Then getting to that age and realising they were all the weirdos who couldn't get girls their own age!
Okay not an everyday occurrence but I remember when we had a visit from a TV engineer to drill the box (wooden bit with the speaker in to the right of the CRT) and fit a 4th button so we could get Channel 4 when it started a couple of months later.

Such magical times….
And coming home from school to watch the first C4 programme, Countdown!
Not having a television set, and reading library books whilst walking in the street or under the bedclothes with a torch, and getting told off for doing so. One sweetie for a farthing and four a penny. Being so cold ‘jack frost’ would cover your window with ice and getting dressed and undressed under the sheet and blanket. No duvets as such but there were things called eiderdowns. Four related mixed gender kids all sleeping in the same bed on holidays. Fetching water from the street pump when visiting relatives in Ireland, where they had wind up telephones in boxes that put you through to an operator. Button A and Button B in public phone boxes and ‘tapping’ public phones to get a free call.

Second one is that an urban myth that our parents believed or is there more to it than that?

Usually meant my parents knew I was upstairs having a wank when they’d tried to ring someone.

Mine had 30 seconds worth so I'd have to stop walking fairly frequently to make it play the song - I was often late to school...
might just have been mine tho.
