Went into town about once a month and bought some stuff.
We were actually self sufficent, we ate good and felt good, clean air, no pollution or contamination, my granddad was killed in a car wreck cause he was drunk, and my gram lived to be 101.
And damn right , I do miss them days, altho I left home to roam the world when I was a kid, I could still do it as life is what you make it. And not miss any of this shit because we didn't have it and never even thought about it,, but shit changed during the war and will never be right again.
But you are a spoiled [at][at][at][at] so you do not understand what am talking about....
,,sounds great where you grew up. see a movie in blighty is about $16 and gaso. about $10 for 5 litres. as always, how much do you have in your pocket after all those taxes are paid.
