I grew up on a Council Estate 😂 (loved every minute and proud of it!) 😂
During a time when everyone treated each other like Family 👨👩👧👦
We went outside to play on streets, built dens and made tree swings 🌳,
We got dirty, bathed 🛀🏻 on a Sunday we didn't eat fast food🍟🍔....
We ate council food, beans on toast, jam buttys, lemon curd, proper home made food 🍝 and chips cooked in a proper chip pan.
We got ice cream🍦 , but if not it was a choc ice from freezer.
I played rounders, garden hopping 🌳, Kerby 🏐 , Hide and Seek🙈, british bulldog and knock a door run 🏁🏃
There was no bottled water 💦 we drank water from the tap (bathroom tap at night)🚰 council pop 🤣
We shared the same bottle of pop... After we would wipe it with our mucky sleeves!
We only had kids tv after school 📺that had no remote control, we rode our bikes 🚲 for hours 🕰
There was no such thing as a mobile 📱 or any other electronic device 📵.
We wern't AFRAID OF ANYTHING.
If someone had a fight, that's exactly what it was... a fist fight 👊🏻.
Kids didn't have guns🔫 or knives🔪.
The street lights💡were our curfew or until our mum shouted us.
School was mandatory ✏️📒.
We watched our mouths around our elders👴🏼👵🏼 because we knew we'd get a clip around the ear.
Sayings like "What's for dinner?" your guaranteed reply was s**t with sugar on (cherry on top if ur lucky) "where's mum?" … Run off with the milk man would be the answer.
Put this on ya wall if you're proud 👉😁 that you came from a close knit community 👭👬👫 and you will never forget where you came from! 😂😆🌈☘️
