What did you do as a kid that they cant do now?

Eat a SNIP

Swings just arent the same..

[Psyber]

My school still sells Iced Coffee for $3.80!!!!!! they also sell soft drinks but only the small ones for about $2.50(but no coke).

I avoid soft drinks that have tartrazine [102] in them. It is a cause of asthma attacks, skin rashes, and hyperactivity in kids.
Nearly all the yellow soft drinks contain it! Check them out and run a "Coke is healthier!" campaign as a stir...

Exactly !

Rack up free games on "King Tut" at the Elizabeth Snooker Hall and sell them without " Doug" catching you.

Get belted by the headmaster at school

play at school and get hurt falling off the slippery dip or monkey bars and not sue the education dept

Call poms... poms and be allowed to

Have assembly every Monday.....swear allegiance to the queen, march to class while the big drum was being banged and then line up in front of the class door.....Girls on one side boys on the other.

ONLY HAD ONE TOY...THE MALVERN STAR AND RODE THOUSANDS OF MILES ON IT

Most importantly WE HAD FUN WITH THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE

You must have been a very naughty boy

Pretty disturbing though when you think of it.

Can't think of anything smart/clever to say back to you TAM

Maybe FC can help me out with this one

[FattyLumpkin]

Sniff the wonderful smell of leaded "super" when the car was being filled up with petrol!

[Ash59]

For me, going to the footy by catching a bus to the city then the train to Elizabeth or Albeton with a couple of mates when I was 13 or so.

A Mum; you could have said how naughty you've been since you left school...

As a grade 7 teacher, some of the pricks I have taught could do with a decent smack on the hand. I can see how a teacher could do 6 rulers in one term!!!

Set off fire-crackers

[the big bang]

Set off fire-crackers

.......without attracting the attention of the boys in blue!

[smithy]

Catch the 132 or 135 from Mooringe Ave into Glenelg as a 10 year old to do some xmas shopping.
Know way I'd let any of my kids do that now.

47c to buy a pie or coke from the Camden Primary canteen which was located out of the brick wall of a neighbouring factory.
Snips or razz's were 18c.

Riding to school without a helmet.
Not an incident of road rage in sight.

Playing defender at charcoal chickens,, cnr of Anzac Hwy and Stonehouse Ave...........classic.
10c per player

Ride in the back seat of Grandma's car with no seatbelts

YES! Remember sitting in the front seat of Nan's old Holden, great memories of her stating "Round the jolly 'orner" as she swung the car around the corners and sliding across the seat.

Big corners, like the roundabout on Phillip Hwy outside Holdens factory would have her slap the arm across my chest to stop the slide!

haha...impossible for a small child not to slide across polished leather seats...I remember doing the same in my granny's Humber and if she braked a bit too hard then I'd slide straight off the seat and end up in a heap in the footwell...happy days
