Remember when.....?

Red , I remember the trams in Blackpool .
I'm sure they are still there .
Many cities keep saying they are bringing the trams back but so far it hasn't happened to my knowledge .

I only went a couple of times as a kid to see the illuminations but they were amazing. Miles and miles of them. It was magical for kids.
But we lived it the northeast so our days out were mainly brid and Cleethorpes cos we had family there !

As far as I know the illuminations are still going but not on as big of a scale .

Of course we never saw the danger and more importantly we were never told to stay off the tracks , it's almost as our parents wanted us to get run over by a train hahahaha.....
Happy carefree days .

My parents never knew about my train experiences. If they had known, I would not be able to sit down even now!

My thrill, was getting run over by the train. The tracks crossed a wide creek by a bridge. Under the bridge was a small room in which I would hide. It was such a thrill to be in that room when the train came and 'ran over me'.

I also remember the Mars Bars. They were big and cheap. Over time, they got smaller and more expensive. Today, some of the Mars Bars can be gulped down by me in 1 bite.

Big John, I also walked over a railway track when I was around 12 or 13. I used to play down a large field that led to the track and it was quite a way from home. It was the norm for us kids who lived on the estate. Obviously now I know how much danger I was in!

I remember when chocolate bars were bigger and cheaper :(
