We had in the 80's a Spectrum ZX Clive Sinclairs inventions...
way way before that about the 50's then, we played in the Street Marbles ,Hot Scotch and Rode our Bikes, always 2nd Hand and My late Dad had done them up by repairing and painting them...
we loved them...
We had no Fridge or Freezers and used a cool box which was filled with cold water at the top and kept food slightly cool....similar to the cool boxes for camping that have gel freezer packs...It was kept in a Pantry which is a really small room for baking goods mainly and stores of tin foods.
Holidays were taken in South Devon a SW Coastal Area, Places mainly were Torquay, Paignton or Brixham, that last one was a favourite, rugged and hilly town.
...Can remember by Sister buying a Elvis Presley Mirror there with a Black Frame.
... We went by Train as never had a Car until quite soon before I got married in 1967 at the age of just 19.
