    Old days -
    - 10p mix up from George's
    - Going up Cox's Mount with my air rifle
    - Sneaking into the corner of Oak / Horse at 15, plucking up the minerals to ask for a coke
    - Tennis round the park
    - Puting round the park
    - Fishing down the Thames
    - Swimming down the Thames
    - Five Finger Belinda from up the top
    - Mini league round the Mount
    - Stone fights in the club house over Stones sports field

    Jumpers for goalposts?

    My heart skips a beat to the first sight of daffodils emerging in the gardens and parks. 

    For soon it will be time for Charlton Athletic to pack up their troubles in their old kit bags - just for a few weeks mind - but long enough to bathe in the sights and sounds of another delightful Summer in Charlton. 

    As I slumber in my favourite chair, I'll no doubt hear the distant thud of leather on willow - a ripple of applause - almost lost on the gentle breeze.  Elsewhere the children play.  Time honoured games, Hopskotch, Forty Forty, British Bulldog and Knock down Ginger.

    What joy there is to behold in this wonderful place called Charlton ... S E Heaven.

    I like it for the balanced, consistent and generally optimistic opinions, and the easy going acceptance of comments from others that are contrary to your own, even if made by you bunch of brain dead idiots.

    We actually made our own posts with crossbar and nets, and would take em down at the end of the matches on a Sunday and stash em in the bushes.

    One of the best things about Charlton is the strong sense of community and the mix of local parks, shops, and events that bring people together. Many residents also enjoy the easy access to nearby areas while still having a quieter neighborhood feel. It’s the kind of place where local groups, small businesses, and community activities make it feel welcoming and connected.

    Having lost the generation above me i.e. mother, father, father-in-law, mother-in-law, all gone, the thing that surprised me the most about CL was how much I appreciate comments and advice from those at the next stage in their lives, with insights about retirement, grandchildren, children-in-law, health, pensions, downsizing, and general perspectives on the last third/quarter of life.

    Thank you all who are older than 58 and offer their experience and wisdom freely here, good or bad.

    Have you told the Hippo to stare at the wall and think about what he's done?

    Everyday on here is a school day.
    Always finding out new information about miscellaneous crap you never realised you needed to know about.
