Childhood memories shared
7:09pm Monday 25th February 2008
Comments (4)Following a week-long event at The Harlequin shopping centre in Watford shoppers have revealed their favourite childhood memories.
And more than a third of those asked during the week said their favourite memory was "playing outdoors for hours until dark".
Shoppers were asked for their favourite memories in a campaign called Hundreds and Thousands of Memories organised by the Childrens' Society and supported by Big Brother celebrities Samantha and Amanda, "Samanda" who visited the shopping centre last week.
More than 2,200 memories were left during the week and the twins said: "We think The Children's Society is doing a lovely thing collecting childhood memories.
"We might be identical but our favourite memories are quite different.
"And to everyone in Watford, we hope you all share your childhood memories too."
The top five most popular childhood memories in Watford are:
- Playing freely in the streets and in the park
- Trips to the seaside
- Playing hopscotch
- Riding on chopper bikes
- Family camping holidays
Memories can be viewed and entered at www.hundredsandthousands.org.uk
