Growing Up British

well it has to be said there are a lot of memorable things about growing up in Britain and today has showed that as on twitter people have been taking to the twittersphere and tweeting the good the bad and the ugly of all the memories of growing up British from being a child to being an adult. in this blog post i am going to list some of the big and the bold that stand out to many let me know if you have anymore and what your memories are and if you agree to these.

 having the song 64 zoo lane stuck in your head all day with just the mention of 64 zoo or zoo lane (and yes i did start singing this as i typed it)

having that very annoying paperclip pop up at the bottom of the computer screen every 5 seconds

only having five seconds of summer a year

reading the magic key books with biff kipper chip and others hoping you yourself would find a magic key

trying your best just to get a blue peter badge

being scared as hell at the Teletubbies im the bear with the lion (and they were only cardboard cut outs)

when RAVEN was the real hungergames

when you ask your mum for a pound to buy ice cream from the truck and she replies "no there's choc ices in the freezer"

DEVIL FINGER was really a thing

when you would do anything as a child to be on a tv program like trapped raven jungle run 50/50 and so on

watching come outside all the time and crying so much when pipin died

handing the whiteboards out in class and giving the dirtiest one to the person you liked the least

overtaking someone in the street and having to keep up with the fast pace till your out of site

being unable to leave somewhere without saying right first

not hearing someone for the third time so you just nod your head

saying anywhere here is fine when telling the taxi driver where to drop you of

repeatedly pressing the open door button on trains a long time before it is even illuminated to make others fully aware you've got this and you will get out of the train to show everyone you have this one

having someone sit next to you on the train so that means you cant eat till you get home

having the biggest sigh of relief when your perfectly valid ticket is cleared by the ticket inspector

thinking that children were actually trapped forever in the tv show trapped

spending every afternoon after school watching art attack

when you get upgraded to handwriting pens when in school

shouting bogies and getting louder and louder in public like dick and dom

crying when david tennant left doctor who

when freddo frogs were 10p and you could buy so many sweets for a pound

loudly tapping your fingers at the cash point to show others you are getting money out

looking away violently when someone else is entering there pin number in at the cash point

saying hello to a friend in a supermarket and then creeping around like a burglar so you don't bump into them again

watching with sorrow as the hair dresser cuts your hair wrong and not as requested

unable to pay the exact change without saying i think that is right

being unable to turn and walk in the opposite direction without feeling awkward so getting your hone out and pulling a face in disgust to turn round

seeing the massive thick tv being wheeled into your classroom and feeling so excited

when cbbc was the thing to watch everyday
come outside was life

growing up thinking little cook from big cook little cook was really that small

wanting to go on a tv show desperately

thinking people really died in raven in the last quest

thinking your the king of the class if you were prefect

when your life goal was to be on jungle run

wanting to try tubby custard and tubby toast

attempting to be the last person clapping in assembly

you knew you were in for a laugh when basil brush was on
