When sticks were guns and played war in the woods. Built forts out of anything you could find. Mud holes and just being outside till dark. Those days are long gone.
I'm Dutch but I recognize everything! Playing outside until the lanterns went on, fun all day with some marbles, sticks and a ball. The antenna on the TV that you always had to turn. Knitwear, 1 cent candy that you chewed for hours like nougat. Take a bath in the tub one by one and get warm in front of the gas heater. Ice stars on the windows. And if you cried "just like that", you got one to cry. This resulted in a strong and hard-working generation. Wonderful times despite the poverty sometimes, you appreciated everything much more and respected your parents and your superiors. Nowadays you can get a big mug from your kids and they already feel abused if they don't get the latest game console. I miss the times, the togetherness and the simplicity. Children of today, but also many adults do not realize how good they have it now. I'm getting old I guess, haha. I sometimes have tears of laughing at you, I think you are wonderful people!
Thats got to be the best life lesson i ever learned Martin,appreciate what you have. Your a brilliant dad and Bex is a brilliant mum giving the kids the best thing ever....advice in life👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Well done guys
Thanks Martin for the idea to do to my teens I'm so going to visit all my vintage shops and bye my kids the old things we used to play with as kids and tell them what you told your kids and see how much they appreciate what I do for them. Absolutely brilliant. Great parenting life skills 101. Absolutely love you guys.
You are too great to let your children go through the pre historic period.hahaha.. When we want to replay a song on a walkman, we need to wait for the veee veee veeee sound a minute or more and chill.😆😆😆
you was never in!!!!@ the woods, park etc...but was always back @ 5pm for tea,Hillards shopping day was Thursday & chippy tea on Friday and we fetched it in turbo slippers!!!!
This is halarious and i so remember the struggle too, but i do miss the old days at times..yes martin appreciate what we have is so so true..glad you did this for your kids..ty guys, us fans love you guys..
@@stevelomas4119 1) I am a combat medic or better known as a hospital corpsman. 2) I love my damn country 3) who are you? Tell me, what have you done for anything besides yourself? Are you a snowflake? I am a SEABEE and USMC corpsman, why would I not tell the world? You should be embarrassed and guess what, if you were American and said that, I'd be embarrassed for you.
i had the wood panel atari, i forget which that is, but the star.....invaders? space invaders? meteors or something, it was a space game that was a triangle that flew threw space and you dodged asteroids.
I got a Nintendo for Christmas one year and was acting up..my parents told me if I didn't stop they would call Santa to come back and take the "Nintari" away from me. Lol 😆
Undue the cable on the tv, so it’ll be like we had it, we had to put tinfoil on the antenna to pick up a snowy channel, then they’ll appreciate cable tv😂😂
I bet the things they would like from the past in preference to now is sweets & chocolate ! When a curly surly was the same size as a 30cm ruler & a wagon wheel needed both hands to eat it coz it was so big ! Black jack's & other 'penny sweets' that lasted so long we all needed fillings in our teeth before we reached puberty !!! 😂😂😂
Dang I was not expecting that ending!!! I am definitely going to try this with my teen and see if it works!! Thanks for another great video. Always looking for new content from y'all!!! Love watching y'all!
It will all work at the end, you just have to be hard on them and truthful, even though it would hurt, but as you being a loving parent to them, they will understand and they will love you for it and thank you one day once they become parents like you.
My daughter asked me what the handle was to roll the car window down, no electric ones when we were younger, and she didn’t believe me when I told her!!
I'm laughing so hard I'm crying...we also had to turn the nobs on the TV to turn the channel because we didn't have a remote & we had rabbit ears (antennas) so we could get proper reception 🤣 we didn't have computers & I remember all of those gadgets you had. It was like a windfall if you had them back when, you were really 😎. Except the Etch-a-Sketch was way bigger 😆🤣 there reaction kills me..Brilliant 🤣 how to put a tape in the Walkman 101 🤣😂 I'm seriously gutted, well done 🙌👏🤘
@@Mycroftsbrother now it's easier, smartphones and smart watches. Back in my day (I feel old saying that) it was keeping change for a payphone, or quick collect call message.
Respect I'm 83 kid, I remember buying my first brand new Nokia 3310 I think it was for £90 I felt good I was with trend back early 00's lmao, good lesson learnt tho, anyone from 80s have a black and white TV as a kid lol I did 😂
OH YES!! The one's with the hoop aerial on the back and a dial to get the channels.....all 4 of them lol. I thought I was reet posh when I got a Ghetto blaster that instead of twin tapes it had one tape and a 5 inch black and white tv in the other slot.....could watch tv in the garden if I got a signal. Watching the Young Ones on it lying on my bed.....great days 🤣
@@helenbarnett695 Haha! yes taping the top 40 without ad's was a fine art lol. Oh the Commodore was what put me off consoles lol, I was rubbish on it when I tried them when my mates had them. I've tried others since, master system, mega drive, nintendos, PS's, Xbox's and the Wii, crap on them all, no hand eye coord.....surprised that I can drive a car considering how bad it is lol
You all are bloody awesome, I remember growing up and getting wooden toys rag dolls, now that we're the age our parents were back then we realize they were right. Appreciate what you have not what you don't have. Now we are saying the same. Looking back it all makes sense cos once you lose what you have ya can't get it back
I'm 56 yrs old this July Martin. I have 3 lads two are twins. I swore blind I'd never ever be the parent that mine were and utter those five unholy words - You Dont Know Your Born. Aaah! You gotta hate time!!.... It gets us all in the end cos I've been muttering it for over a decade now. And I miss my Raleigh Chopper Mk1. It was better than any iphone or computer ever made, that's a fact!!
Sega..... good old sonic hedgehog, we had an attachment that sat on top to play the other version of mega drive but the name escapes me... I must be getting old
It's true what you said Martin to your children be grateful for what you've got & I always have done & I used to love my Walkman playing my tapes & taping the charts off the radio onto tape & it used to be a lot cheaper back then aswell god I miss those days.
Hint with the etch-a-sketch: turn both knobs to get curves😉 my mom worked on that line when they were made in the USA and we got a new one at Christmas every year 😀
Remember the Transformers? You could make a car or truck out of something that looked like a Rubrics cube! I bet the kids couldn't work that one out these days! Great stuff, thank you!
Ha ha yes, ya don't know ya born pmsl. When we got Walkmans with cassettes was fantastic the beat thing since sliced bread. Being able to walk around and have ya music on earphones ha ha ......we didn't know we were born lol x
Marbles on the drains at school, panini football stickers or swapsies as we called them, push bike, a football, a home made catapult and plenty of skinless elbows, knees and knuckles.
I still remember when the stereo was down size to the big boom box... than the small boom box.. than i thought i was a big shot when i got the walk-man.. Not to mention the 8 track player in then car... lol.. Wow.. just realized how old i am... how time and technology has flown by..
Kiddies wouldn't have lasted long with good 'ol dial up either, still remember fighting over who gets to use the phone or the net lol loved growing up in the 90's. 🤣
Didn't have mobile phones when I was a kid, nearest call box was a mile away, and just board games like Monopoly and chess. And music came from cassette tapes or 33/45 rpm vinyl or the radio.... TV ?? Three channels beeb one beeb two and ITV !! Good lesson here.
Anyone remember the “if you don’t stop crying, I’ll give you something to cry about”.
The Billy Connelly version was, If ya don't shut up I'll take my hand off your face!
All so if you break your leg don't come running to me
Still traumatized from it, it wasn't a threat my dad beat the everloving shit out of me daily..
O yes and your not too big for a good hiding , rude awakening etc 😂
"You ain't seen x yet...BUT IT'S COMING!"

Absolutely brilliant. Great parenting life skills 101. Absolutely love you guys.
The good old days 😂 remember them well.
Yep.... we used to build scooters from 2x4s and old skates and bungee jumps from old bicycle inner tubes nailed to a tree limb.
When I was younger we had to make our own fun and own entertainment
I'm even older - we had board games only and dangerous lawn darts
Hahahaha. Them darts were lethal.
Ohhhh god, the land of no health and safety was soooo much more fun.
and clackers.
@@LakelandluvsBlythe I've still got my glass ones. Lmao

You hit the nail on the head.
Yup they were the days alright, wish we could go back in time
This is what parenting should be all about!! Love it.
She's about to lose her mind with the etch-a-sctech, lol.
Brilliant 🤣🤣
Look on Google for etch a sketch pictures and you will find they are not all squares lol
Yeah there's a guy who keeps every single etch a sketch drawing he's ever made, sponsored by the company, he makes literal works of art.
Never mastered the curves and I'm 50
I HATED my Etch-A-Sketch. It never worked right. 🤪
Absolutely hilarious how you guys have so much fun together. Y'all are a trip cheers from Philly USA.
I'm crying laughing at ya
I knew the lesson as soon as he said valuable lesson 😂😂😂
Martin is gold… seriously…. He doesn’t even have to try … he’s naturally hilarious!

I have watched so many and now I get to see a fresh one, lucky American here! :)
Why is it that all Americans have to tell the world they are American ? I'd be to embarrassed.

I remember my parents saying this stuff when Atari came out
Atari 2600 big wood effect 1or the black wedge pole position superman Qbert ms pacman wow
I had pong.
the good old days of gaming lol
i had the wood panel atari, i forget which that is, but the star.....invaders? space invaders? meteors or something, it was a space game that was a triangle that flew threw space and you dodged asteroids.
I got a Nintendo for Christmas one year and was acting up..my parents told me if I didn't stop they would call Santa to come back and take the "Nintari" away from me. Lol 😆
that is such a blast frm the past. love it 😃😃😃😃
gaz
Fantastic, every kid should be given that challenge 😂👍👌🇬🇧
LOL, Nice. Remember the bootleg etcher sketch, the one that had the pen and when you finished you pulled the plastic paper to start over?
Undue the cable on the tv, so it’ll be like we had it, we had to put tinfoil on the antenna to pick up a snowy channel, then they’ll appreciate cable tv😂😂
Anyone remember tying string to a stick to make a Batarang . And a tea towel for a Cape. Then getting a slap for pinching the best tea towel .
I certainly do Olaf. They never seemed to work as well as Batman's though!! Brilliant, happy days 😉👍
