When I was a child, every Friday night when Dad got home from work, Mum, Dad & I, bundled into the car & off to the closest 'Drive-In' Theatre!
Mum had me in PJ's, dressing gown, & slippers. I used to go to the Playground, there'd be many children there, we'd all play on the swings, play 'tiggy', ride on the little train.
Life was good in the '50's &'60's! I was allowed to buy my Dinner from the kiosk, & an ice-cream! Wasn't much on 'offer' those days, but I usually had 'Fish & Chips' & Chocolate Malted Milk! Most of the time though, Mum packed food for me, so I happily sat in car back seat & ate that!
One film I remember actually watching was 'Island in the Sun'. I was fascinated seeing a 'black' man (Harry Belafonte) as one didn't see any 'black' people in those days!
Can you imagine doing that now, with concerns about 'creepy' men getting around near kids'? Not likely!
