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

Got me thinking... It's much the same with bathers, swimmers, cossie.

'Togs'  when I was a kid - don't know why though

[lloydslights]

Dad used to call my sister's bikini a "cossie for a mossie"

But then we called Lego laygo. Must be the only people in the world to do that!!!

Swimmers for me in NSW...................

Just had a thought, cocktail franks.............. my sister calls them "little boys"    ....... my mum called them cheerios.

They are almost as blerk as the fritz lol. Yes, cocktail franks for me too, little boys just sounds wrong. I think they are cheerios up here in Qld.

Never bought them again after a very bad birthday party experience. I think I may have mentioned it here already... perfectly good bucket beside the bed  but noooo. Every bed and all the way down the hallway. Frankfurts and saveloys all in the same category.

Richo Jandals in NZ, I have always called togs, Bathing suit

[cherry*135]

Swimming costume - called togs where I come from.

Strange word 'togs'. -  a set of clothes and accessories for a specified use
