Would you like to turn back time?The biggest thing that I think is missing in this day and age, is the neighbourly contact we had when we were kids. I can remember the neighbours being asked to look out for us, if mom had to go out. This they did happily. Mind you, if we did take advantage of this, the neighbours would inform mother,, and then we would be in trouble. As a child of the 50s, I must admit, we didn't have much, but neighbours were quick to share, and 'pop' round with a saucepan of stew etc. I know each generation has its own 'childhood', but I do think things were more simplified in the 50s regarding childrens outside activities. I daresay we could be a nuisance to some, but at least they knew where we were, - most of the time ! From a childs point of view of that time, I thought we had a great time. However, I am happy to have most of the changes that have taken place in the last 3/4 decades. I think for most, life is easier, but for many lonelier.ViewDate:

Are you more of a dog person or a cat person?where do they do their toileting, not in your garden, I am guessing. We have all and sundry of the neighbourhood using our garden as a toilet. Really makes me angry.
