Things I was frightened of as a child: 1. 80s News At Ten theme ending 2. Cold Baked Beans (still can't eat them today hot or not) 3. Spider thing from end of Perils Of Punky episode (Punky Brewster) 4. Sports Day 5. Wasps as well. (Still hate them today)
Justin Lewis@whenisbirths.bsky.social · 12h agoAlright then. From a long list: 1. Dogs (though we had a dog till I was seven, maybe it was the Rabies information films) 2. Uncle Ernie in Tommy. Justified. 3. Alan Taylor, HTV announcer, though he was probably fine. 4. Wasps obviously 5. Cheese 6. Feeling overwhelmed (solving that one).
