i think Summer Holiday is always a happy, feelgood film. i remember one summer holiday when i was young, i had a temporary job working for the cliff richard fan club. it just consisted of sending out photographs to fans but i met cliff once and remember how nice he was to me (the lowest of the low there), taking the time to come and meet me and chat - a very nice person

i was a (small) child in the 60s - what i remember is this
aztec bars and spangles esp old english spangles (sadly no longer with us)
junior showtime, hr puffinstuff, watch with mother, listen with mother, lost in space ( we used to rush home from school for this, ) , wacky races, land of the giants (remember the bubble gum cards?) thunderbirds, joe 90, f troop!!, dr who, casey jones (my favourite ever programme, skippy, flipper, and who can forget sunday aftenoons with the golden shot.... bernie the bolt.....
and that was after the big western on a sunday afternoon, after the pots had been cleared .... hopefully john wayne but any western was good... that was in the days when we didn t all have tvs and computers in our rooms
proper school dinners and woe betide you if you left anything on your plate, caps and bere s (for the girls) and sock garters for the boys....
fab ice lollies, funny face s, hearts, beatles bubble gum, black jacks and fruit salads, sherbert straws... the monkeys, beatles, hermans hermits, scaffold, (lilly the pink) for years one of our car songs, rolf harris singing "two little boys", plastic cowboys and indians that my brother used to collect, snake belts, (also worn by my brother), family favourites on a saturday morning, england winning the world cup, (we were good then), batman and robin, beano, dandy, tv comic, treasure, twinkle and bimbo
anyone remember any of these or anything else......
what a good decade the 60s was
