Nah, don't remember seeing it - school prolly didn't have one. If I did see it I don't remember it. But my Dad built a plastic model of the rocket with the Lunar module on top - he had that sitting on top of the TV for some months. Then I think it got broken and we put a pair of turtles on the TV - they came with a crappy little plastic tank/dish that had a little island with plastic trees on it and a ramp. B&W TV, no remote, and aerials folding out of the back. Or one of those gold hoizontal spiral aerials. Those were the days!!!

And not a microwave in sight!

:p

'70 was my yr. I remember selling petrol in my oldmans servo when I was 14/15 at about 40 odd cents a litre. And that was back when there was driveway service, not self serve like it is today.

And going to the corner shop with 20cents to buy some lollies and coming home with 20 lollies. Space invaders was only 20cents a go, not $2 like the games are today.

Great post Al, well done.
 
RE: Re: RE: :)

I'm a 76 baby and grew up in a newly developed suburb in the back blocks of Perth with (shock horror) NO tv. We had tracts of crown land next door and an oval just 'down the street'. We played cricket and tennis at the front of our house, took off in the morning with sangers for lunch and entertained ourselves all day making jumps, building cubbies the size of the taj mahal, playing cops and robbers and tadpoling in the open storm water drain at the back of the house. My first job was at a service station pumping petrol and flogging off litre bottles of oil. We used to collect glass 1 litre bottles, take them to the deli and get the refund on them to buy 1c and 2c lollies or packets of 'fags' (the lolly variety).

Cheers, Rach
