Nostalgia

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN

Basically we were in fear our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! But we survived because their love was greater than the threat.

As well as summers filled with bike rides, cricket, hula hoops, skate hockey and visits to the pool, and eating lemonade powder or liquorice sticks.

Didn't that feel good just to go back and say "Yeas, I remember that"?

We were entertained by Mr Pastry, Six Five Special, The Army Game,

Sunday Night At The London Palladium, Emergency Ward 10,

The Lone Ranger, Hancocks Half Hour, Trigger, and Sgt. Bilko

AND HOW MANY OF THESE DO YOU REMEMBER

Sweet Cigarettes


Coca Cola in bottles


Your never alone with a Strand


And Coffee Shops with Jukeboxes

Nostalgia

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN

Lying on your back in the grass with your

friends and saying things like, 'That cloud

looks like a .....'

Playing cricket with no adults to help the

children with the rules of the game.

Bottles came from the corner shop without

safety caps and hermetic seals because no

one had yet tried to poison a perfect

stranger.

And with all our progress, dont you wish, just once, you could slipback in time and savour the slower pace, and share it with children of today.

When being sent to the headmaster's study was nothing compared to the fate that awaited the students at home.

Nostalgia

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN

It was considered a great privilege

to be taken out to dinner at a real

restaurant with your parents.

.They threatened to keep children back another

year if they failed ..... and they did it

When a Ford Zephyr was every ones dream

car ..... and people went steady.

No one every asked where the ignition keys were

because they were always in the car, in the

ignition, and the doors were never locked.

Nostalgia

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN

Your mother wore nylons that came in two pieces.

All your male teachers wore ties and female

teachers had their hair done every day

and wore high heels.l

You got your windscreen cleaned, oil checked.

and petrol served. Without asking, all for free

and every time. And you didn't pay for air.

Washing powder had free glasses, dishes or towels

hidden inside the box.

Nostalgia

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN?

ALL THE GIRLS HAD UGLY GYMSLIPS

IT TOOK FIVE MINUTES FOR THE TV TO WARM UP

NOBODY OWNED A THOROUGHBRED DOG

NEARLY EVERY ONES MUM WAS AT HOME WHEN
THE KIDS GOT HOME FROM SCHOOL

3d WAS A DECENT ALLOWANCE



YOU WOULD REACH INTO A MUDDY
GUTTER FOR A 1d
