Remember writing letters and walking to go get like 8 mates to all go do stuff... exploring on foot and bike... playing outside with the other kids that lived close... damn bruh those were the days bring back the 90s
Funny, we've just been talking earlier, my sister was telling my wife how we had to stop eating while the bells were ringing. As Dougal would say....."That's mad"
All the better for it too u would have to knock on a door and face your fears if had any issues, life wasn't like it is today, may of been poorer but made value things and cherish what you owned with much more reliish and some guile and new words were spoken with friends that u wouldn't know the meaning of, but everything changes at some point for everyone, so don't deny it just embrace it and hold on little tighter than before and don't forget your irish catholic, it got u thru some days u will only realise in time when it's revealed to u through our spiritual growth if that ur choosing
Medical emergencies Banking Weather alerts Reporting crimes Calling family members/friends out of the country. Yeah, 3 of those are life threatening, but let's go back to those times,sure.
I'm only thirty, so I was growing up just before phones were really commonplace. You'd make plans with your friends in school to meet you by the river at 12 on a Saturday. No questions asked. You knew what spot to wait at, and if you didn't show up, you were probably dead 😂 then when we did get the old blockias, we never had credit for them so they were only good for playing snake 😂 if you wanted to text a girl or something you'd have to ask for a fiver to put on the phone 😂 wattsapp has the kids spoilt now 😂
Even if I was living before phones, I was a town boy, and the only time I got to mess about in fields is when I was visiting my friends, but now I live in the country and I mess about in the fields
@zacchcanavan5390 well spotted sherlock. Its 2024 now and there are many means of travel so a French man may have been able to travel to Ireland and meet an Irish lady fall in love and have a child together which would be Irish if born in that country and have a French name because you take your father's name usually. Any other issues you struggle with holla 😂😂😂😂😂
All i heard was DINNER usually when we were in the middle of a football match. I remember one of my mates only ever took 2 mins as all he got was Brown Sauce sandwiches.
They didn't know what a postal code was 10 years ago. Finding delivery addresses for my IKEA customers in R.Ireland was a nightmare. Heck the only way to get them to give you directions was to ask a local. Mobile phone coverage was awful and let alone try contacting an Irish man on a landlines. 😅 Thank you customers for all of the headaches. But you're all great craic!
In Michigan in USA mom would send one of us outside and we yelled dinner. If it was a Friday we knew it was liver so we would go to the neighbors house to eat.
This reminds me of being a kid. My dad would hangout at his cousins who lived down the street; well he would hangout there a long time sometimes and i would have to go over and pull him away because my mom would get irritated that he wasnt home yet for dinner. She would be extra pissed if he was cooking and burt dinner because of it.
Sod off we had phones and they always left it in the bloody tractor cab, so you still had to run down and ask only to get back to the house and hear '...what about?' xD
Due to the difficult terrain, Native Americans created smoke signals. It was faster even over long distances. The problem was having dry firewood to burn in winter.
Na, the mother would have sent one of the girls, the boys being too precious. And the sister would have taken her time (being a break) and she would have met him coming in for dinner.
Back when people spoke to each other too. Oh how life was simpler back then 😊 children, teenagers and young adults need to know what it was like, majority of them couldn't last if the Internet etc went down 😂
Son will you get me a half stone of potatoes at the store and tell the shopkeeper not to give you any big potatoes, because they would be too heavy carrying them ..

If ya ma screamed loud enough there was no needful phones 😂
I can still hear my mother saying; be home at 6. Don't have me shouting up the street.
My Ma would just stand at the back door and scream 'Dinner'!!!
We be home from the fields in no time 😂
Awhh wow ❤ beautiful God bless and keep those memories 💖

Oh to back to simpler times
A txt message was mom yelling from down the street

Yh that never happened. His ass would go without dinner until he got home
Must be the favourite son 😅
So true 😂

It was like that everywhere without phones. Its srill like that in some parts of the world
I remember there some mas that would just open the back door and shout "DINNER'S READY!". Kids could hear them from miles away.
Due to the difficult terrain, Native Americans created smoke signals. It was faster even over long distances. The problem was having dry firewood to burn in winter.
That was everywhere in the world before cell phones.
Fkin facts of facts 😂😂😂😂
You forgot the part where he changes his mind about two minutes later and has to give chase.
