Other things that were around when i was a kid but not now=
Bhudda sticks. Was just thinking about the $10 Sticks the other day. Wrapped on a strong stalk with black cotton, resiney goodness wrapped in Chinese newspaper.
Mums in aprons. Mums and Nans used to ften wear aprons round the house, so did greengrocers, butchers, doctors, storemen and a stck of other people.
Toffee Apples. You can still get them, but people used to actually eat them, same as fairy floss. Everywhere you'd now ee a mcdonalds used to have a fairy floss or toffee apple stand.
Mr whippeys, milk carts, bakers and all the other services that used to come to your home. We had a big hatch in the side of our house when we were kids that opened into our walk in pantry. Every morning it would have red or gold foil topped milk bottles (silv er in the later years od homogenization) a loaf of bread, the paper ect in it like magic. That was when the paper came out twice a day, you could read the same, same but different news on the train on the way home from work while you had a smoke up the back of the bus or on the bottom deck of the train.
Guns, everyone had guns, it would not be unusual to see kids or grwown ups g=carrying guns on public transport although it wa considered polite to wrap it up in a blanket so no-one knew what it was. Ever seen a gun wrapped in a blanket? It looks exactly like a gun wrapped in a blanket.
You could buy one at the local sports store next to the footy socks and boots and no-one would ask you why you wanted it, even if you were twelve.
You could go to the school tuck shop and spend exactly enough for a pie and sauce and a drink on the biggest bag of lollies in existence every day for lunch and no-one would say boo about it.
As an eight-ten year old, you could run out of the house at 8 am on Saturday morning and run back in at 6PM on Saturday evening and no-one would hassle you about where you'd been so long as it was 'before dark'.
Sitting under the kitchen table late at night while the adults talked up above

Wish my 8 & 6 yr olds would run out of the house at 8am and come back at 6pm.
When I was a kid we used to ride an old yamy ag bike all round the backroadd and channel banks. The only thing asked by our parents was that we take a full fuel can with us so we could get home. No mobiles....and that bike took two of us to push home.....
