I remember some records that my parents used to play.
Harry Belafonte, Nana Mouskouri, HAIR The Musical, The Seekers, Slim Dusty, and lots of classical.

Most of it went into the pocket of the corner shop owner.
I have a sweet tooth and on occasions when back in the uk binge out on rowntrees fruit pastilles and maynards wine gums.
The pump I used to get my petrol for the Seagull outboard was one of those with a glass tank on top of the bowser and a hand pump to fill it to the desired number of gallons. And that was late 70's and still there early 80's.Quote:

Then we became oil snobs and used stuff like Bardahl, with a cap-full of R30 for effect.
What we had. The old crank telephone. Number was 2 shorts and a long.Quote:

Good days.....Quote:
