When you could leave your home open for weeks while away on holidays and it was the way you left it when you got home and you could leave milk money on the front steps every night and nobody stole it.

The fruit and veg man would sell stuff from big rattan baskets on the back of his truck.  If we ran out, it was a big responsibility to run down His house and knock on his back door and get "two pound of carrots and a cauliflower" in paper bags to carefully carry home.

Part 2:
    Noel Kelly was the toughest man alive, StGeorge won the comp every year, Shintaro was really cool and you could make star knives out of old bottle tops, trucks had those mechanical hands that made hand signals, coffee came out of a bottle, making your own ginger beer, buying a newspaper in the morning AND afternoon, wearing black rimmed sun glasses so you looked like Roy Orbison, the fanciest thing in a cake shop was a cream bun, Lakemba was a nice suburb and only rich people ate Chinese food.

Isn't that W.A. even now?

I don't know if they changed trading times the last couple of years, but that was WA trading times very recently (or very close to it). Except for the large national retailers.

Do you remember when you got a foot up the ar*e for doing something wrong....and it made you stop and think about what you did....and you thought twice about doing it again....and you didn't suffer from any mental scars ......but it did make you think about consequences ...

As a boy scout I was required to carry a knife.
And we went bush walking without GPS and didn't get lost.
We camped in national parks and didn't need triplicate forms signed by god himself and we even cooked over open fires.

The police walked the beat and even stopped for a chat with my parents to see if there was anything going on in the street that required their attention. This was called policing, back when police were not just revenue collectors.

I could take the girlfriend out for a movie, popcorn and ice cream for less than $5.00.
I complained when petrol was 22 cents a liter at the snowy mountains, when it was only 12 cents a litre everywhere else.

The closest thing we had to mobile phones was a phone box at the end of our street.

Oh for the good old days

Sadly enough I do remember just about everything here  :'(

Another one - when the families together & there's more than 5 people in the wagon, all the kids sat in the back (& we're all still here!).

Similar thing - driving on holidays & Mum would put pillows on the floor of the back seat so we kids could lie down & have a proper sleep.

My mum used to take us to soccer in the Peugeot 203.....the whole team bar one !!

Used to go to the pictures, and even though my aunty was the lighthouse and we had to behave, we'd roll jaffas down the aisle ( remember when buildings had timber floors ! )

Remember when Santa Claus was real ???  ;D ;D         50 yrs ago for me !!  ;D

Remember when Santa Claus was real ??? 

You aren't trying to say he's not real, are you ???

Hey, we watched "Miracle on 34th Street" just last night & I can tell you that Santa is real!

(& always remember, that if you think Santa's not real, then he won't come to your place!)  >:D

6 o'clock closing at the pub. Dad was a barman so we go to pick him up and do behind the bar to get a sasparilla.
Our bread was delivered by horse and cart - used to hitch a ride to school. (1964)
First job was in a servo and you could get 5 gallons of regular for $2.25 (10c a litre)
