The Coronation and bonfires in the street and everybody being nice to each other.
Letting off fireworks and eating hot chestnuts.
When British Industry was the best in the world and we didn't have unemployment.
When Gary Sobers hit 6 sixes in one over at St Helens in Swansea. Nobody mentioned the fact that it was the shortest boundary. I know because I have failed at short point on that ground and I was on the boundary.
When we could tell jokes about the Scotsman, Irishman, Welshman and Englishman and nobody would bat an eyelid.
When Syphilis and gonorrhea were the worst sexual diseases you had to worry about. Oh the shame LOL
Where you threw blotting paper soaked in Quink Ink at the teacher when his back was turned.

Those were the days.
