Listen "Simple Pleasures & Banned Childhood Toys"
Episode Synopsis
Join Tommy, Duncan, and Hayley as they dive deep into the simple, often unglamorous, pleasures of British seaside holidays from their childhoods. From nostalgic trips to Happy Eaters and Little Chef, to amusement park adventures and the peculiar charms of "What the Butler Saw" machines, they reminisce about days spent without elaborate plans. The conversation then takes a surprising turn as they recall a host of now-banned or frowned-upon childhood toys, including Seki-guns, cap guns, and even homemade crossbows, sparking a humorous debate on how times have changed. Plus, hear their tales of learning to cycle and swim, and a memorable story of a very thirsty family in an underground car park! What are your fondest childhood seaside memories? Did you have any of the "banned" toys mentioned in this episode? Or perhaps you have a hilarious story about learning to cycle or swim? We'd love to hear from you!
