Do you remember...?

Albus_Scope

As we get older, we start thinking back to things we used to love (or indeed hated) as a kid. So I thought it would be a fun little trip down memory lane if we turned it into a game.

So name something from your past that holds strong memories for you, then the next person say if they loved or hated them.  Then they choose another memory.  


So to start, who remembers... Transformers; Robots in Disguise?

I remember them yes, didn't like or hate them  

Do you remember ... having to press the numbers multiple times on a phone to select a letter when you wanted to send a text message?

   I can still see my son running round singing " transformers robots in the skies" no matter how much I told him it was disguise he was having none of it!! I loved them because my little boy did   

I remember the big freeze of 1963 and my brother built me an igloo in the garden, it was a magical winter for me.. How many remember it?

As a fan of Transformers since Generation one, I think I prefer your sons version of the tune.

vikingqueen

Sandy_123

@vikingqueen I remember the winter of 1963. We built an igloo on the road with a hole you could crawl through. I remember Vesta Ready Meals! Total rubbish, but they seemed exotic. Curry and rice in a tin you had to boil and making a guy for Guy Fawkes Night  and asking for a penny for a guy.  Happy days!

  Weren't they just @Steve_in_The_City a much simpler time

Well, I grew up in the 90s. So for me I remember pokemon, beyblade and yu-gi-oh. Apparently, pre-memory working, I loved pingu.

I also miss the sea, holds strong childhood memories for me. We lived on the coast in the North East before my family had to move to London for work.

Mine was orange too! Maybe the most popular colour.
Got it for my birthday but cant remember the year, think... they had just come out.
But cant be sure.
Loved it! It was so cool. The Harley of bicycles!

My mum was a mod (during the mod-revival period in the 70s), she showed us old pictures of her. It was an interesting period for fashion and hair!

I remember Pogs.  Literally minutes of fun with those...

My family still close the blinds if there’s been a death, I think it’s just respectful to do it.

Oh I remember the coal man I had a coal fire and when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter I had a craving for the dust on the coal. Yes I used to suck it off so you can imagine the colour off my mouth 😂

I remember all of these, but hiw about a man that use cycle round with a large stone that he could turn on the back of his bike to sharpen knives etc or the rag n bone man collecting all sorts.

I am far too young for a coal man, but I remember when we had the local milkman with the glass bottles.

There must still be some around?
