What is with all these backwards looking threads inviting us to share our “first” or “earliest” experiences?
Is it a sign of encroaching senility?
Eg “I remember when you could get a bar of chocolate and 5 Craven ‘A’, a fish supper and still have change from sixpence”
Or have I strayed into Mumsnet with the likes of
Were you pressured into giving up breastfeeding?
Morning sickness
Potty training
Your first film at the cinema
First day at school
Where you met your first love/DH (delete whichever is not applicable)
Products we used to use
Now Pocket Money and Saturday jobs
Childhood sweets
Biscuits/puddings /meals of our childhood

It’s too much like sitting round reminiscing in the day room in the care home for me. Life is for living now not harking back to outside lavatories and clogs on cobbles shock yawn
