The 1950's were a time when.............
children played with all the other kids in the street only coming home when it was dark.
most mum's stayed at home and a family usually owned one car if they did have a car.
sixpence would buy a big bag of lollies from the corner milk bar
you could return soft drink bottles to the corner shop to collect the deposit, a great way to get a little extra cash.

MEMORY OF THE MONTH.
EVERYDAY APPLIANCES AND GADGETS
SURE WORKED DIFFERENTLY WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP.
How different are they to what we use today?
There was no remote to the TV.
The TELEPHONE had a large round dial.
How many stations did the TV and RADIO have, not many.
Join the fun and remember how different it was when you were growing up and how technology has changed.
COFFEE SHOP
Steve posted a question on the COFFEE SHOP page last month.
In his comment he recalls some favourites lollies from childhood that seem to have vanished today.
He was wondering who remembers these lollies and what others do people remember that have now vanished as well?
Post a comment with your memories of all those yummy lollies from childhood
