Go to the shops when you were 10 to bye a pack of smokes for your parents that only cost 2$ and the money was paper

Remember browsing all the images like the avatar above of falconhell74 in the People and Post magazines. (I had that one ironed onto a blue Bonds tshirt when I was about 11)

Hi Guys,
Remember before Computers and mobile phones came into the world people weren't getting ripped off by scammers.

In those days there used to be a Public Phone booth on nearly every Corner.

Remember when you could work around the house/shed all day and not feel it for 2 days after

when as a kid/teenager back in NZ we has an ice skating rink near us, people caught buses in those days and walked past a public phone box. Those had their own ph number and we had great delight as a group of kids walked past to rung it, the look on people's faces was mirth to us in those days. Once we announce the rink was closed for the day, great confusion.

I just saw some kids that were probably told to go outside and play, they were all sitting on the lawn with their iPads

A while back my auntie was telling me about one of her focus group thingys. She works with disadvantaged kids. Anyhow, in this one group all the young kids were given picture books and observed.... Most sat there swiping at the cover and not understanding how the pictures werent changing. So yes, some kids are thrust an ipad from the time they were born, gives the parents a more peaceful time to shoot up.

For the last few weeks with my regular exercise walks I have seen local children/youths playing volleyball and cricket in the local parks, now that is something I have not seen for many years.

I would say their iPads were charging, or they were banned

[MITCHAY]

Well when the parents are always on their phone or whatever else it's no surprise the kids are too

Or they realise that there's good money in professional cricket so are practicing for their future careers.

Funny you say.

And now he's on his PS and headphones.

All day!?!? Heck, there used to be a time when mowing the lawns was just the curtain raiser for the day. Now it's just the main act. No curtain raiser or encore!

Okay, maybe some editing has gone on, but is that the old bloke term for erection?

…Walking a decent way to school. Now an immediate source of social opprobrium and suspicion re parents.

Yep, kids under 12 cannot walk to school without a caregiver or guardian.... Remember when schools were allowed to say parent?

Remember when you you could trust someones word, it seems that people just give you a lip service these days, most people dont stick to their word and when you pull them up on it they just deny they even said it.

Everything in writing from now on I thinks

I dont think the words "true to their word" and the word "politician" ever cross paths, ever

[Citroënbender]

Not in my lifetime, for certain. When Menzies weaponised national intelligence by excluding the opposition from briefings, it marked a clear point of self-interest surmounting national interest.

Even the notion of “draining a swamp” usually creates a new swamp somewhere else - likely nearby.

Whistling at pretty girls from a building scaffold.

Hanging offence these days.
