don't you just wish sundays were like they used to be when you were young? (for those who remember how sundays used to be). when i was a kid sundays were for relaxing and spending time with the family. you'd be hard pushed to find a shop which was open and the pubs were closed. shops were prohibited from selling alcohol..............if you remember those days just take a minute or two to reminisce.....................

spending time with the family.........going out to play with friends............spending most of the day in bed or on the couch watching tv.........

ahhhhhhhh those were the days..........

Here they had what they called the "blue law" that is where even hardware stores were not opened,don't know why that was but I do remember on sundays after church getting to go to the candy store,that is when I learned a big lesson and that was,just because the nickle is bigger than the dime it dosen't mean that you get more candy! my dear sister convinced me of this though,she always got more candy necklaces than I did,I learned quick!giggle

just shows how much things have changed in a short space of time then. might seem strange to some but some of happiest times of my life were during the major power cuts of the 70's (yes, i do barely remember them). since there were no distractions like tv's etc, we'd all sit round a coal fire with candles to light the rooms and just talk! we'd tell each other stories etc and boil the kettle and toast bread on the fire. it was almost like camping in your living room lol.

Hi John, My sons would definitely agree with you. Also with them it is every Wednesday night after work for league and any time they get a chance to be in any type of golf tournament. They also have my only grand-son, soon to be 16 hooked. yay hug
