do you remember a time when it was a better place to live

[opmania]

I remember when news agents had a stand out the front

with Papers under a rock

You took a Paper and left the money on the stand

Now days they would steal the money,the papers and the stand

and throw the rock through the window as they were running away

[opmania]

I remember when gay was a girls name

[opmania]

I remember when you caught a bus and the thought never crossed your mind that it would blow up

[kopenhagen5]

And when the draught horse n cart would deliver the milk.

licorice blocks were 3 for a cent.

And sunnyboys, razz, glugs were 5 cents.

I remember when gays were treated like girls - thankgod the world has moved on, even if some here haven't!!!

[i-need-a-martini]

A time when women weren't allowed to vote, indigenous people weren't classed as citizens, we deferred everything to England, divorce was illegal, unmarried mothers were ostracized, homosexuals were imprisoned.

When we had 4 channels on the TV and they all ceased at 10pm. When trains stopped at 9pm. When pubs closed early and didn't allow women to sit at the same bar.

You mean those times?

I'll take the bad with the good and be grateful for progress thanks.
