Lots of that describes my childhood, I would wake up and go outside, stay out all day except for dinner time, I made go-carts, cycled without a helmet, in summer I would catch bees, tadpoles, caterpillars and ladybirds, rarely got take-away, had 3 channels on the TV and no internet, all of the children who lived where I did would play together until it was dark, I went swimming almost every day in summer, cycled eveyrwhere, played soccer. I was born in 1992. You can't think people didn't have proper childhoods just because of when they were born.
