Tales From When I Were A Lad - More Snapshots from a Time That Health & Safety Forgot (Hardcover)


Take a nostalgic trip back to a time when children played on the street, the local bobby could clip your ear and anywhere beyond Bridlington was an exotic holiday. Awwww, the old days. A time when grime were fashionable, school sports a menace and exotic holidays were anywhere you couldn't cycle to. Take a nostalgic trip back to a time before risk assessment and child welfare, when teachers could belt you over the backside with any hard object smaller than a kettle, and kids could buy fireworks and light casual bonfires. Jam-packed with photos that could be never taken today. Children pose on walls, lean out of high-speed fairground rides and sit happily in the middle of road junctions.
