When we learnt HOW to think - not WHAT to think. When we worked it out for ourselves. When the seeds of our imaginations were sown. When childhood wasn't an App. Cheers - Gary

And we were a lot better off for it David, kids today have no value, they want it all handed to them on a plate. Tom

They get real goal posts now and just leave them lying around on the greens, handed on a plate indeed Tom, yep we certainly are better off for it, cheers David
