Funny thing the memory . I got a new glazing supplier a while a go and it was in a part of London i have never been to in my adult life . In fact all i ever remember is living in and around Twickenham but driving to the supplier i knew all the roads and even recognized an old school toy shop . I mentioned it to my mum and she said we lived in the area before we moved to Twickenham .
What's your earliest memory?

[QUOTE 3934139, member: 9609"]this earliest memory thing always worries me, everybody else on the planet seem to claim 5 year old or younger as their first memory - mine is 9 year old 
please; someone else say theirs was 10, it would cheer me up no end. lol[/QUOTE]
Sorry I definitely can remember things like starting school, and getting told off my another child for calling the teacher Miss, or the little milk bottles, reading in the library, and the shape of that classroom, even the coat pegs at my nursery school.

My father taking me to see "The Pink Panther"(1963) at the old Chinese Theater in Pekin, Illinois. (quite near Peoria)
Here's an old postcard view of it. I also took photos of it before it was demolished, but this shows it in its' heyday. I was three at the time.
Still looked quite like this then, but was more terra cotta in color, and all the roofs were green. This was also the long-distance bus station, and a cafe. Opened 1928, demolished 1987, Elmer Behrns, architect. (also noted for the Egyptian Theater , Dekalb, Illinois) 1287 seats.
I and my friends also saw many of the Ray Harryhausen stop-motion animation movies like Jason and the Argonauts, and Three Worlds of Gulliver there.

Hiding under my mum's skirt when the neighbour spoke to me. Think I was 3 or 4. #shy
I also have a vague recollection of a robot chasing me and my mum out of some hospital toilets. A conversation on here prompted me to ask my mum about it. She couldn't believe I remembered it . Apparently we were on our way to see my nan in hospital and stopped off at some public toilets. They're was a cleaner in there with a big cleaning vacuum type machine that had a big hose on it that cleaned the toilet bowl. When the cleaner turned it on, it was really loud and frightened the life out of me and I ran out. My mum ran out after me. I was very young about 3 and it stayed with me all my life as a monster robot that chased us out the toilets.

In hospital, childrens ward, with the sides of the bed up, wondering why. I could just about see over the top of the rails.
First day at school is an easy one. In the right hand door at the end of the corridor, down two steps. Realising that although there was a door on the opposite side of the classroom, the teachers desk was too close. I got out the door nearest the corridor, down the corridor and out of the school grounds. Heading back the way I'd come. Got about halfway there before being caught and returned to school.
Got moved away from the door on my return though.

I was diagnosed with asthma at 5 and remember being in a big open style hospital ward with a nurse on a desk at the end.
I remember the first day at school and being allocated my own drawer to put a ball of plasticine in.
Much earlier than all that I remember being separated from my parents in a shop doorway in Mexborough.
I was 18 months old when we moved from Wickersley, but I have memories of filling the stop cock liner with driveway pebbles. My earliest act of sabotage.

One of my first is being told off at nursery.
The building was in an enclosed set of railings with the playground at the front, the back of the building had a narrow passageway between it and the fence whilst the fence was next to an open road.
No one was allowed to go round the back of the building so one day me and another lad decided to have a look what was there, we ended up being smacked and made to stand in the corner of the playground until break was over.

Was on a trike when I was about 3 and a local scrote who was about 8 threw half a brick at me and it hit me on the head. I remember being in the ambulance but not much after that!
Playing on a swing in my grandmothers garden, we lived in the gardeners cottage at the end, I would have been just two.
I also remember my brother, 18 months younger than me, as a small baby in a carry cot.
I have several other memories of what must have been the summer of 1961 and I could still take you around my grandmothers house and gardens today, although I suspect they would have shrunk a lot!

Mine is falling down the stairs. Apparently, before I could properly get down them, I used to just sort of throw myself down.
It's been my approach to life ever since.
My parents obviously hadn't heard of stair gates.
