Did he always live near the volcano and when he wrote to him or her after the eruption included with the letter was a bag of the ash 12kg?

I remember being about 8 and going to the local shop, run by a very nice Greek couple, who would let me by mum her smokes, also the shop over the road would as well.

speaking of lollies, I used to remember getting a couple for about 5c and a small bag for 20c from the local shop, now 1 lolly costs that...

I miss getting cobbers

Shame Mr Hatch!!! Shame! Shame! You forgot the White Knight.
With 4 shillings in you kick you could get a packet of Rothmans,two White Knights and spend the rest on mixed lollies.

I reckon the kids these days would struggle to walk to school in the snow, with no shoes, while carrying a 50 kg bag of spuds, while pulling a horse and carriage like I used to have to do each day. This was after I had to get up at 3am to milk the cows, and plough the paddocks.



Anyway, back to the topic.....

5 cents and I'd have a bag full of lollies, licqorice blocks at 4 a cent, and a rocket icy pole worth 3 cents!

Favorite lollies were: choo-choo bars, sherbet fountain, polly waffle, bubbly and big metro bubble gum, big charlie bubble gum, white knights, scorched peanut toffee bar, traffic stoppers (before they were banned, used to get stuck in kids asoph,asop.....throats!), razz, glug, pow, sunnyboys.,Barney Bananas(when they were 6c), wizz fizzes with the ring spoon, sherbet bombs.....ooooh, i'm off to the milk bar now!!!

What's your favorite movie? Do you have any conditions I should know about? What do you really want to ask me? If you could have any kind of robot what would it be? Can we get back to business?

Yessssss, mates and clinkers, and bullets.
...but NO tarzans jubes or those eucalyptus drops (disguised as sweets!)
What were those "big" rainbow balls you could get that changed colour. Cant remember if they had a small bit of licquerice(?) in them or bubblegum.
Hey man! I cant remember everything!!!! After all it was the swinging sixties and the bumbling seventies. Peace man, dont get down on me. Heeeey charger (one actually drove past) . Now dont disturb me, my purple paisley beanbag, my lava lamp, or my platform shoes! Geeez these monster collars on my shirt and levi cords( vooot voot), are hot in this weather!!
