Mine was reading about history and I very much still do this now.
I did a lot of drawing and painting which I don't do any more. My brother, father and I were obsessive Airfix fans and we recreated the airborne aspect of WWII suspended from my brother's ceiling, with the Pacific in one corner, and the Battle of Britain in another etc.

Amazingly all three of us have real live female partners.

It is quite relaxing to draw stuff. I read often on the metro to and from work, and sometimes at home.

Scrounging for refundable glass bottles.
I must have spent years of my childhood scampering around building sites and behind pubs looking for these elusive 'glass cheques'. We would even go round peoples doors and ask, and no, I never got nonced and my silence bought by 2 empty Irn Bru bottles.

I was cutting the grass last year and 2 urchins shouted over, asking if I had any empty bottles. Unfortunately I didn't, it did make me go all misty eyed though.

8p bottle, rising to about 15p in case you were wondering.
