Weird things you did as a kid...

[Boudica]

Hmmm, I really liked reading and used to read my library books within days and then annoy everyone about going back and getting more, I even got so desperate for new things to read, I read labels on tins in the cupboard!

I also cut my doll's hair once expecting it to grow back...

I really am strange, but happy

I used to get my dads Daily Mirror newspaper, and cut out and keep all the Perishers cartoon strips, plus any bits on UFO's.

One day my uncle said 'here's the lad who believes in UFO's' I said no i dont believe in them but I AM interested. He couldnt get his head around that

We used to play at being the Fire Brigrade.....

One kid would set fire to a pile of leaves and then run round the corner to the rest of the shouting FIRE FIRE. The gang would then run round making Fire engine noises and put the fire out.

However my little brother set fire to some leaves a little too near Mr Blackburns garage. Even the best efforts of the gang couldn't put it out so we ran off. We were then treated to the sight of a real Fire engine....

I'll never forget the feeling of total fear as my Dad came into the room and asked me and my brother if we knew who had burnt down Mr Blackburns garage. My Mum saved us by insisting it was probably that council estate lot !!

Confession ... good for the soul .

Nice bit of inadvertant sig interaction there.
