Evening seniors---see you can still do it.

Can remember back in the 1950s-taking a trolley bus into

Perth on Sat mornings.

On the top floor of a department store--think it was -Boans,

a radio station did a one hour broadcast.

Could have bee called The Willy Weeties show.

About 30 regs appeared in the crowd.

--will post this bit first in case it disappears.-bbs.

Cont-the game plan was to get a ticket going in the door,

then the couple of young bloke i was with-

would go out to the toilet and get another ticket coming in.

So when the door prizes were drawn-we had about 10 tickets

between us.

Great prizes---toys-books etc.

-to been cont-

Would split the prizes up later.

Plus the freebie sample bag of cereal products-

good mornings work-lol.

Have posted in sections because of loosing posts

in the last few days........Richo.

Morning all 🙂

:^O Mr Paramore Gil, I bet he was teased unmercifully about that.

Do you remember when the Opera House wasn't there?  and the old tram depot was on Benelong Point?

Hmm.... trust you Richo 🙂  I leaned a way of dodging buying a ticket to get into a picture theatre... that was handy for a while.

I used to work for a jeweller in Wynyard and delivered watches, rings and other jewellry around Sydney for repair.  Some of the old buildings that were still there was amazing.

I remember one where they had an old iron fretword lift and you had to wind yourself up the floors by a handle.

The jewellers were all in tiny rooms with wooden benches, it didn't matter what building I was in, they were all the same.

I think back now and wonder how my employer allowed me at 15 to carry hundreds of pounds worth of jewellry around Sydney in a calico bag ... I bet I couldn't do it nowadays.

while I'm on boarding school, a fellow norti girl and I put on our hats and gloves and went AWOL, up to the local cafe to buy lollies....unfortunately one of the matrons saw us and reported us...can't think why.....we DID have our hats and gloves on. :^O

My friend got expelled and I got a 'talking to'....headmistress thought I was salvageable I spose...she reckoned I was "hiding my light under a bushel"  (whatever that means)

morning oldies ...........and others

Late arvo seniors.

Bet you were a naughty girl Gilly-lol.

Darki-i have always been an opportunist.

Easy and hard ways of doing things.

Mentioning hard ways- had to work the shop on my own today.

9-4pm.

Hot  concrete building in full sun.

(still 36 degs here)

Did 10 garage sales and a fete before opening the shop.

-----------can i have a beer now?................Richo.

You deserve more than one beer Richo.  Gosh it was hot wasn't it.  Got to 39˚ down here in southern Tasmania and another scorcher today, what I call bushfire weather as there is a strong westerly blowing too.

I am just glad that there will be storms tonight and cool tomorrow.

Thankfully I have a concrete block (sandstone coloured) house and that does keep cool.  I have the air con on upstairs as it gets like an over up there.

Do hope you have an okay day where you are Richo.

I missed out on seeing Queen Elizabeth I clothes that were on display in Sydney because I broke the crocodile with some others and snuck back to the shop on the way to Roseville station to catch the train to buy some sweets Gil.

We were sent back to the school where we had a reasonable day because we didn't have teachers - they were with the good lot, but not as much fun of course.

Did you get to see the clothes?  it would have been interesting because, by today's standards, the people were so much smaller than we are today.

Hi all 🙂  My word it's been torrid today at 37˚  Had lots of smoke from fires around the Hobart area and one behind me that, thankfully, is defeated.

Anyone remember Sydney 1960 when the first day was 100F = 37C, the second day was 104F which is 40C and the third day was 106, which was 41˚

I was six months pregnant at the time and I thought I would die.

I see can recall the Southerly Buster hitting Sydney and quickly arriving in Willoughby...

I've never forgotten it.

Remembering when the butcher used to give you the soup bones for free.

Evening seniors.

Grandmoon-are you an oldie---had an idea

you were a young chickB-)...............Richo.
