I Remember when I was a Boy

I remember when I was a boy.
If you ordered a ham, cheese and mustard sandwich, thats what you got.
Not like the other day, when the dill at the counter made 3 sandwiches.
One with ham, One with cheese, and the other....... yep, mustard. :icon_bonk:

or you go to Macca's drive through place your order with a
chocolate thick shake and they reply "what flavour sir" AAAARRrrGGGGhhhhhhh
Blue heaven used to be a flavour

I remember when I was a boy of 6 my mum sent me down the deli to buy her a pack of smokes for $3.50 and the guy behind the counter didn't blink an eye at selling them to me

I still remember my dad driving us around and collecting cooldrink bottles for our pocket money,delivery the community news paper in Kenwick(WA-perth)and I remember the kenwick rd fish and chip shop......funny story I now live 400km from that shop hadn't been there since about 1980'ish.a month or so back a friend come around who had visited perth and bought pickled oninons(from said fish and chip shop)brought them around as I love my pickled onions and I said I hadn't had pickled onions like that for ages-even went so far as to saying I remember as a kid our fish and chip shop ones use to taste excatley like this...that's when they said 'that's where there from..the kenwick rd fish and chip shop

remember as a kid getting Dad to drill a hole in the tortoise shell so we could tie a piece of cord through it.
Didn't stop the lawn mower from finding the tortoise though R.I.P.

Hassling my old man to have a luck of the footy.
Now dads are hassling kids for a kick of the footy.
Lol

I remember when looking for a petrol station that was on roster if you needed fuel after 6pm. Perth air port was the only 24 hour petrol station that I knew of.

Plastic sandles were great for picking up other PPls marbles at school.

Sitting for hours in front of the radio recording the songs you liked while missing the adds so you could have a great road trip mix tape
