"I remember actually playing OUTSIDE as a kid . Actually running around playing footie in the pissing rain. Do you feel that modern life has also made today's kids lazier ??" For a lot, yes I do, albeit a couple of our grandsons are footballers and spend a lot of time outside practising | |||
"I like life with these convenient gadgets, but I still like to talk face to face and I have a friend in Wales and we still write letters to each other "What with actual Pens and shit ??  | |||

You say that as if kids today don't play outside at all. Games, tablets, phones, etc., they're just another indoor activity option. There have always been books, writing, drawing etc. When the TV was invented, it was hailed as the end of conversation. As was the wireless before it. As, probably, were newspapers before that, though obviously the news isn't going to do a bad write-up of itself. Basically, I'm calling you an old fogey  | |||

Having grown up in the 90’s though, I remember a time when we were allowed to play out and go as far as away as we liked, Mum didn’t have to worry too much about us. Then I remember distinctly after a very high profile abduction case in the late 90’s we were kept in a lot more, and we were never out of mum’s sight, all of my friends were the same. Did it matter whether we were playing board games or video games? That’s not the reason why we stayed in. | |||
I miss playing 5-side. Just knocking on for a mate and then walking around a park chatting.
But I like keeping up with my kids now, which isn’t too far off what I used to be like, they play console games, but when the sunshines, they are outside playing. | |||

"I must admit I spent most of my time at home I was happier enough in the garden my grandad and my dad grew their own vegetables in the garden and allotment I did,nt venture far from there on my own, when I got into my teens I would venture a little further even if it was just up the lane alongside to see the birdlife and what was nesting where perhaps not like your average teenager today, I was just very lucky to have that type of environment around me as time goes on I realise it more, but there were child abductors and killers around and have been ever since, but luckily my parents let me roam a little to such places as I mentioned earlier and from about 13 I,d be, as a kid I did not think about any danger but getting out and enjoying myself, no real Internet back in the 70,s more games like kerplunk. and scrabble,cluedo, dinky cars, etc sending everything by letter or telephone, we knew no different apart from my parents who knew the era,s before and mentioned those times to us during growing up along with showing old photo,s to us, what many kids have today they probabily know no different, But I would,nt swap my times as a youngster as opposed to the xbox and playstation kids of today but then again I,m a bit different.. | |||
