i can remember when.......
the sydney harbour bridge toll was 20c.........
petrol....super not standard.....was 25cpl........
you had to get up out of your chair and walk clear across the room.....just to change chanels.......
recycling bottles meant they were simply washed and then refilled and sold again.......
showbags cost 50c....and they were overflowing with goodies......instead of vouchers.....
skivvies were in fashion.........
20c worth of lollies got you enough to over fill those white paper lollie bags........
soft drink cans were made of steel..........
you could ride in the open doorways of the old red rattlers.......
things were repaired instead of replaced........

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
I remember safari suits, and brown suits with flares.
And white belts and shoes.

...it took me all day to spend $3 at the Perth Royal Show, including rides and a show bag
...$2/hr to pump fuel at the local servo after school (made $100 in one week during school hols - unions would be up in arms these days)
...20c lolly bags at local deli (not many of these left anymore either)
...a XYGT Falcon cost less than 2% of what the same car would cost now
...you could undertake any recreational activity without the govt sticking their hand in your pocket
