I'm sure BaggieVicar will be along soon to tell us about his beach holidays in the 1890's.

Ah, young Josh, how well I remember those dear, dead, halcyon days.
Our three essentials would be a manservant, a wicker picnic hamper and a daguerrotype of our beloved monarch.
Mind you, the upgraded 1960s version would say a football, little national flags to stick on the sandcastles and the loaded money box with different slots in the top for ice creams and donkey rides.

1) Toy cricket set with stumps that were a foot tall!
2). Crab line (Spent hours sitting on the harbour wall catching them)
3) Cheapo coloured plastic sunglasses that I thought were cool at the time!

I was expecting more? What about memory joggers.
Different kites
Bag full of coins for the penny slots
Beach Towels
Air Beds

"Different Kites"...... great name for a band!

I saw Different Kites supported by Crabline at Donington in '87.
RE: Childhood Holiday Essentials - Blue Baggie - 24-08-2020
Maybe another topic?
Strange band names and pick a new name?
I will post it, see how it goes.
RE: Childhood Holiday Essentials - WBA-Josh - 24-08-2020
Crabline would be a great name for a Cornish pirate folk-metal band.

Pub sign cricket?
We used to play license plate cricket (still do) - last number on the plate 0, 7, 8,or 9 was a wicket down and 1-6 were runs scored.
We also had to make a word from the three letters - the letters had to be in sequence but not next to each other, longest word won a point e.g. 123 ABC could be word Alphabetic but Alphabetically would win the point.
The one the kids enjoyed was Alphabetic eye spy - You all start on A and try to spot something outside the car beginning with A, once you had you moved onto B etc - the others could not spy the same thing and so it became harder. Naturally Q, X and Z were a challenge
but not impossible BMW X3 etc
