Remember my Dad taking me to school on his push bike.

What a wonderful memory that must be. I remember my dad picking me up from guitar lessons 2 hours late because the pubs stayed open longer lol!

I remember just about everyone used to drink and drive, no seatbelts and my dad smoking with 5 of us kids in the car!

Not going to mention the old kero TV.

Have sucked a few youngies in with that before

on other memory threads.

Loved the old wireless (radio) shows.

My favorite was the school one-think it was called-

Yes sir or yes what.

The kid came to school late every day and had an excuse.

His name may have been bottomly!

 Anyone remember that one?..............Richo..

Bluebottle!!!!!

waves madly to all the super seniors...........great thread darkie 😄

im only a baby boomer, but my mum 1931 & dad 1928 are definately golden oldies

mum is 82 next month but sadly has dementia (still in the early stages thank god, so she still has good days)  a few other health problems......but she still madly potters around in her garden and in the kitchen

dad is doing great for 83, still plays 2-3 rounds of golf a week, does a fantastic job looking after mum, has his market garden in the backyard and is always zooming around mowing someones lawns....... even the grandkids have trouble keeping up with him

Yes as we lived right out in the bush there were the party lines for the phones......and people would actually listen in to conversations and of course know all your business:)

No Richo dont remember that sorry...........i know my family didnt have a telly till 66 or 67 as they preferred to read or listen to music or play musical instruments.

Rosie-lol-you remember-was a top show-only

went for a few minutes each night

The headmaster would give up and

you could hear the cane swishing and the howl

when it hit-lol.

-the kid in that show was the forerunner of the

little johnny jokes we hear today

Richo..

I loved bluebottle.

I also loved the goon show though that was much later.

Peter Sellers was bluebottle - what a crackup

I forgot about Bluebottle, I loved that as well.........

Those were the day, life was simple back there, kids made their own fun as there was no TV.

Little girls were little girls for along time, inlike today where they are *forced* through advertising to grow up too fast.

Everyone one use to go out and leave their doors unlocked, windows wide open, with no fear of anyone entering the property while no one was home.

inlike = unlike
