Answer 8

For me, it was a slower pace of life. There was more family time. People had Sunday dinners together and weren't sat in front of computers till all hours. I used to play outside until it got dark. 50p was a fortune in the local sweet shop. I used to go to the Grocers, to the butchers and the newsagents with mum instead of a 24 hour supermarket. Dad was always home at the same time every evening. Thanks for the question, I loved re-living my childhood for a bit!!
