Sorry Nolic..please don't take this personally, but I had a chuckle when I read your reply referring to the '60's as being 'recently'... .It must be an   'age thing'   , I find myself doing the same thing for eg  'It was only the 70's or 80's , gosh it wasn't that long ago"  or "I feel like I've just bought that, and now it needs replacing" or 'Oh, I love this song'......forgetting it 's decades old...(nothing wrong with that ofcourse)  or 'Why can't I find 'so and so' in the shops' .... reply - Mum they don't make it anymore!!   Or if you see a pic or article of a celeb who you haven't heard about   'for ages'  .."Gosh, they've aged haven't they", forgetting their time was 20/30 yrs ago.

At least we are still young at heart.....That has to mean something....eh?

Cazza, know exactly what you mean. I've had the  inverse things from my kids like comments that the Spice Girls were ancient etc.  Gundred once asked if everything was in black and white when I was a nipper - it seemed perfectly natural to her that it should be.

I think its to do with how old you are in your head - I've never got past aout 21 or 22 . I sometimes see my self as a demented old codger picking up a bass guitar and  doing the bass lines to "Sunshine of Your Love" to entertain the other residents in the home.

Hi, just come across the forum.

I went to Springfield (the old school that was demolished - not the new one build "recently") from 1962 to 1965 and to Alder Hill (again demolished recently  - about 10 years ago I think)  from 65 to 69.

I have fond memories of rolling huge snowballs in the Springfield playground in the great winter of 1963.
