I am glad you liked it, it was fun to write it. maybe I should write more posts like this, just need the time.
I'm also glad my post made you remember your childhood and while we're here, let me tell you, I never understood why little kids have to wear shorts till a certain age, even during winter. Parents should protect their kids, not force some stupid dress code on them, just because society thinks that's what everyone should do. I asked my dad and he says it was the same here after the war. Some rules are stupid.
And you're not the one complaining about what the UK has become :)
Guess it was a generational thing, but now lol things have changed for me, I rarely wear trousers, I am always in shorts. But that is out of choice
