Morning Guys,
What a great thread, It's nice to have a little stroll down memory lane, the only problem, I feel a little sad for what is lost.
Now instead of helping the elderly, they are bashed and robbed in the street and in their homes.
I remember when I was a kid we called everyone Mr or Mrs or if they were close friends of the family they were Aunty or Uncle, now kids call you by your first name.
I went to my Uncles place a couple of years back and we were sitting chatting and he kept saying stop calling me Uncle Len, it's just Len, I couldn't get my head around that, this bloke had served in WW2 in Borneo and it seemed especially disrespectful to just call him Len.
I think respect is one of the most important things that has been lost.

I remember as a kid, up at dawn, hop on the bike with the sluggy(later .22) and take off for the day with some sandwiches and a canteen of water, meet up with the mates and just go all day, where I grew up in Newcastle, I could ride from one end of the Hunter Valley to the other barely seeing a house(now it's all housing estates).
The only rule was a bloke had to be home by the time the first street light came on, if I wasn't, look out there would be hell to pay. It seems a bit slack now compared with all these helicopter parents, but my parents didn't seem to worry. And I never suffered for it.
Then again maybe they didn't care - one less mouth to feed

Dad always tells me how he could head down the milk bar with $2, fill a bucket of lollies and come home with over a dollar. Not these days, too many cameras he says.
