What did you want as a child, but have never had.

Somebody mentioned a peach melba earlier, @InOtterWords, and it reminded me of childhood holidays at Pontins.

There was an icecream parlour that sold Banana Splits, Peach Melba, and Knickerbocker Glory. I always wanted a Knickerbocker Glory because it looked cool in the big tall glass.

I never got one though because it was too expensive. Still never had one 😂

A trampoline and an in-build personal pool where you could actually swim. 😆
Lugwho · 56-60, M
@CrazyMusicLover still in planning

@Lugwho I must say that my view on a personal pool changed a lot as an adult who would have to maintain it. 😅 Still, it's an amazing thing.
Lugwho · 56-60, M
@CrazyMusicLover Yes, I think someone to do the maintenance would be essential

Trucks and walkie talkies. My mom refused to buy them for me
Lugwho · 56-60, M
@Jenny1234 Was that a cost thing or because they were boys toys?

Any of the cool toys they advertised on TV for Christmas!!
Lugwho · 56-60, M
@2ndtimeguy It was always the cheap copies from the market for me

A Harley Davidson.

@Nimbus I always wanted a Raleigh chopper. Not quite the same, but I never got that either.

I had so many friends that spent entire summers in Cyprus. I felt like I missed out on some magical thing, then realised I had better holidays at home.
@Lugwho They spent their days in the village visiting family. They never spent time at the beach.

@V00doo The dreaded family visits 😬
@Lugwho Yep
