What's the earliest thing you can remember? Is it you or someone else speaking or an image/sound, or other? I can remember stuff I was thinking about before I started school but can't pin down the age exactly, I guess around 4. For example I can just about remember learning to ride a bike (with stabilisers) and that must have been quite an early age. After the age of 5 more things are remembered and memories get more complete rapidly after that.

Earliest childhood memory

I remember hardly anything from my childhood, even during primary school and later, it's highly annoying. Everyone else seems to recall loads. I suspect the late-teens boozing may have killed off a few too many brain cells....Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostWhat's the earliest thing you can remember?

The first thing I remember was sitting on a potty playing with a big tube full of plastic letters. It was when we lived in France, so I must have been about 2 years old.Comment

I remember things about childhood such as primary/secondary stuff only when someone reminds me! Met a guy I used to hang about with at school the other day, and he was like "yeah remember when we played - world cuppy - we used to kick ass in a team".. Then I remembered we used to always play in a pair at world cuppy at lunchtimes etc.Originally posted by scooby View PostDitto, that and it was a tulip upbringing!
I'd have never remebered if he hadn't brought it up - really annoying! Wonder what else i've forgotten!?!
*world cuppy is where a group of your mates play football in pair's against each other with one keeper, usually on a 1 and through basis then for the semi's 2, and final 3's the winner! You also have to pick a team, being sure to try and get brazil before anyone else did!!Comment

Standing on the quayside watching HMS Albion coming into dock in Portsmouth after her last deployment before being decommissioned. Was there cos dad was a subbie on board.
