They banned them and the tupenny was the biggest you could get. Dad wouldnt let us play with the threepenny, said they were dangerous, yet he goes out and buys me and my brother slug guns. Dont figure.

    I always felt ripped off when we went to decimal currency. Hand over sixpence and get 5 cents.

    I remember when bread and milk were delivered to your home
    Tommy Hanlon Jnr, "It could be you" show.
    And TV was shut down by midnight.
    I remember channel 10 having a horror movie show on Friday or Saturday nights called "Deadly Ernest"

    Hope your jealous young ones
