Looking back can prove problematic; you know what I mean……when you go back to a well-remembered place from childhood and discover that the proportions of the street or house or wood have suddenly shrunk….. I had that experience recently watching a DVD. It was a film I remembered from forty odd years ago, one that had (in memory at least) caused me to guffaw with great amusement. It was also, in memory, black and white. Something brought it to mind, so I duly sent off to amazon and awaited said DVD with great expectation. Not only was it in colour, but it was hardly amusing at all.
Ah well……everything changes as one grows up.
I had the same problem with banana flavoured custard..loved it when I was a kid took a notion to it one when I saw it in a shop bought and made it,jings it was foul my wife had a great chuckle at that one..
Even the thought of banana flavoured custard makes me feel yellow.
