    Yeah I know - but we don't want your ol' ladies!! Material possesions is what it's about these days. Used to be the girls, the music and the good times. To quote an oldy but a goody "Where have all the good times gone?"

    An don't tell me money don't make ya happy - only people who've got it say that.

    Wasnt a packet 10c too?
    Oh the joy of being given FIFTY cents on Saturdays and cycling to the dairy to buy a huge bag of 1c lollies. (Remember 1c coins? Cant say I remeber shillings and pence though sorry).
    Dairy owners were so patient too...

    Yep I remember those day's, though I only just scrape in being born in 1980! I was lucky enough to grow up in Ohakune, there were no end of things to do. Those were the days when chopping down trees and mowing the lawns for your olds was fun and 50 cents was ALOT of money for a kid to spend at the diary. Im sorry but Scoots Magoo you just proved the point of the whole thread.

    When you pay four bucks for jaffas they are too valuable to be dropping!

    Yep I remember getting bread and milk (in glass bottles!) and having enough to get a big handful of lollies (from a european shopkeeper). How about getting Saveloys from the local Butcher?

    Ridiculous. Making fun of the younger generation for growing up in a world you created. If we're screwed up you shouldn't be blaming us

    I remember running around all day in just shorts and not getting sunburnt, just brown. Making huts on the farm in any place I deemed suitable for a hut to be built ie under a hedge, in trees, on carryall trays, in the haybarn....even made a tunnell hut in a sandy bank, had 3 rooms with a fireplace even .
    Showing my cousin how to make a flamethrower with a syringe and petrol....and burning half the haybarn down(also showed cousin primo hiding spot down farm :/ )
    Towing an old car bonnet behind the tractor at full noise around the paddock with brothers hanging on for dear life and aiming for all the fresh cow shits and cali thistles
    Falling off my BMX when I was bringing up cows one day and got tangled in 6 wire fence on of which was barbed and fucking electric...lay in fence screaming til the old man came down and pulled me out...estimated time 5minutes with a barb in my leg shocking me the whole time :|(still got teh scar too)
    Getting whacked on the arse by the old man with hand, wooden spoon, jugcord, ALKATHENE!!(you got a problem child....alkathene will sort it out lol) sticks.......
    Learning to ride the farmbike when I was 7 yrs old(Honda SL 100 lol) and couldnt stop laughing the whole time I was on it....I was hooked on bikes from that day on
    Making jumps for said farmbike out of everything and anything, falling off said farmbike so many times the old man had to get a new farmbike, and a couple of years later another one

    Things were cool back then but still cool now but a bit more fast paced and in yer face....thats progress folks
    Built for speed, not for comfort

    Ahhh this is much better than working... :spudbn:
    I remember savs from the butcher! Didnt go there often though, 99% of our meat came from the paddock. Used to help Dad gut, slice and dice the sheep.
    Remember aniseed wheels (can you still get them?), and when 100's and 1000's were a FLASH biscuit!
    Kids TV programs (the limited amount we watched) have changed too... now theres another whole new topic...
