Potted Roots

Hilarious

Anna Kendrick can't believe Robbie Williams just said this! 😮 #TheGrahamNortonShow #GrahamNorton #AnnaKendrick #RobbieWilliams

And weren’t kids happy! And a neighbourhood looked after its own, kids were brought up by everyone in it, one whiff of ‘I’m going to tell your mother’ brought kids to heel! Kids played out and didn’t come home unless hungry, raining or cold!
I might not of lived here much of my childhood but that’s how I remember living at my Grandparents when did visit home.

Back in the days of tanners and bobs,
When Mothers had patience and Fathers had jobs.
When football team families wore hand me down shoes,
And T.V had only two channels to choose.

Back in the days of three penny bits,
when schools employed nurses to search for your nits.
When snowballs were harmless; ice slides were permitted
and all of your jumpers were warm and hand knitted.

Back in the days of hot ginger beers,
when children remained so for more than six years.
When children respected what older folks said,
and pot was a thing you kept under your bed.

Back in the days of Listen with Mother,
when neighbours were friendly and talked to each other.
When cars were so rare you could play in the street.
When Doctors made house calls and Police walked the beat.

Back in the days of Milligan's Goons,
when butter was butter and songs all had tunes.
It was dumplings for dinner and trifle for tea,
and your annual break was a day by the sea.

Back in the days of Dixon's Dock Green,
Crackerjack pens and Lyons ice cream.
When children could freely wear National Health glasses,
and teachers all stood at the FRONT of their classes.

Back in the days of rocking and reeling,
when mobiles were things that you hung from the ceiling. When woodwork and pottery got taught in schools,
and everyone dreamed of a win on the pools.

Back in the days when I was a lad,
I can't help but smile for the fun that I had.
Hopscotch and roller skates; snowballs to lob.
Back in the days of tanners and bobs.

Brian from Five Sisters does it again! ❤️🥰.
