Earliest childhood memory

[cailin maith]

Mine is meeting my dad - remember getting off the bus and I was wearing a tan/camel coloured coat, I remember thinking he talked funny... Mammy doesn't like to hear that - cos I don't remember meeting her first

I think I was about 3

not quite - I was adopted and don't remember much before that... Remember my first day at school too - was mid way through the process and didn't know what my name was... got my first name right but... that was about it

Going swimming at the pool in Walsall. Playing with large block at the pre-school. Going out in -12F weather in Canada and learning to ice skate on my own backyard pond. (I don't recall the flight over at all) Those were the days!

I remember my mum voting in the 1966 General Election - I was three, getting close to four.

Once she'd got that boring nonsense out of the way we got on with the important business of buying The Beano

But that can't be my earliest memory - clearly I could read The Beano, and I have vague memories of my sister teaching me how to do that (well, not just The Beano), which was when I'd just turned three... so nearly a year before that election.

Gosh Nick, judging by your optimistic leftie thinking I was guessing you were in your 20s.

Nope, that's the voice of experience

Chasing boys - it's always going to end in disaster.

I dunno
