Baby Boomers

Any on here? I'm facinated with the 50's just been reading a big fat book with pictures about being a baby boomer and childhood in the 50's it sounds like a great time to have been a kid,playing on bomb sites and smashing windows with your catapult, the cars , the whole thing sounds great. Womens underwear looks wierd though and the music wouldn't do much for me until the 60,s. I think i'd liked to have lived in a prefab.No pc shit you could play in derelict houses as they didn't bother boarding them up sounds like heaven to me and they could kill murderers fucking great.

Suppose I could be classed as a baby boomer, being that I was born in 1950.

Also AD, we lived in a prefab back then, for about 12yrs, they were ok but a but hard to hide from the rent man or your mates if you wanted a lie in.
     


























There was one advantage though, you could have a good weigh in when they decided to knock yours down.

Great times, along with the 60's taught me a lot about life.

Are you a boomer if you were born in the boom or are the parents boomers?

Born.

Thank you for your detailed and insightful response.

I gave you an answer to your question, if you want the whole works why dont you google it, its all there in detail.

Childhood in the 50s was an adventure. Houses left their doors open, kids played out all day without parents worrying too much and we could get up to more or less what we liked. Weapons were commonplace but rarely used in anger although I did get stabbed through the hand in a fight aged 9. Brought up in a semi-rural area, most of the time was spent playing footie, building dens and trolleys, fishing, catching and skinning rabbits, climbing trees, snogging girls and fighting with nearby gangs.
In a way I'm sad I wasn't able to give my own kids that degree of freedom.
