Am I a hoarder or a loser?

I've kept the skateboard I rode back in the late 70s/ early 80s. I only have to look at it and I'm right back there.

Californian slalom trucks
Lime green translucent Kryptonic wheels

What can't you let go of?

My 'Tufty Club' badge and hanky and my little panda that was given to me when I was born.
My skateboard was a fluorescent yellow colour by the way.

@pennynoodles aw that's really sweet. I know you were fairly local, did you ever board at 'skate city' on the banks where HMS Belfast is or the ramps at South Bank (still a cool place for skate boarders to hang out)

No, no. I'm not THAT local. Besides, I moved around a lot as a child, so I skateboarded on whatever road I lived on. Home-made ramps from planks of wood etc. I have seen where you are talking about though, I didn't realise that was around for so many years.

@pennynoodles skate city, I think is long gone but south Bank (beneath the theatre) was just an undercroft that had some smooth ramps that lent itself. Plus it was in view of people walking the Thames path so attracts people to stop ans watch. Iconic place. I forgot you were nomadic as a child, apols xxx

I have lived in 24 different houses in my life. A little nomadic, yes. @Ironicman
