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

[Footy Chick]

You have a rather disturbing obsession with naked-ness there ME


Here's one thing we used to do as kids that kids can't do now...


- drink as much red cordial as you please.

I just like to see females nude (the good looking ones of course).

I didn't take you for the picky kind ME, more of a "take what you can get" sorta fella

[am Bays]

run outside and sniff the diesel fumes the company ute going past was blowing out of a pump on teh back to protect us from mosquitos - gotta love growing up in the tropics...

Getting the feather duster from the head master....

Buy a can of coke for 20 c, an Advertiser for 10 c and a bag of lollies for 20c and feeling full...

[therisingblues]

Buy a can of coke and a pasty from the school canteen

Huh? Kids can't do this now?

My own addition to the list: Forge school I.D's. When I was a kid school I.D's were little more than a bit of cardboard with the school emblem on it. Getting smokes was a piece of cake.

nope..... our school does not sell coke and your paying $3.50 for a pasty!!!!!!

[therisingblues]

No Coke eh? What do they sell then? Surely Iced Coffee is still in stock.
$3.50 for a pasty? Lol! I think they were selling for about 2 dollars when I last lived in Oz. But you could pick them up in supermarkets for about 50 cents.

[hearts on fire]

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).

School canteens are a rip off, alot of kids just walk down to the shops or the service station.

[Hondo]

Sorry I assumed things about all schools based on what I have heard about some

SOME schools have removed pies & pasties off the menu

Obviously not HOF's! A pasty with sauce and a choc donut was my stable, daily diet during from years 10 - 12 . Cost me $1.20 for both

[hearts on fire]

Get a load of this, we have to pay $4.50 for a fricken burger!!!!!!! what is this world coming too!!!!!!!

[Mic]

Yes prices were a lot less 10-20 years ago, but so were wages.

Regarding school canteens, I believe most of them in primary schools have got rid of much of the unhealthy stuff like soft drink, lollies, etc. Not sure about high-schools though.

Survive summer without airconditioning

[Dirko]

Burn your arse on the vinyl seats in Mums Ford F500.....

Not wear a seatbelt sitting in the front of my Grandma's Kingswood on the bench seat....

Eating raw sausage meat from my Pa's butcher shop....

As a kid I remember going to the Maylands with Pa, during his Butcher's "lunch" break
and the bar man giving me a thimble of "Green Death"....

[nuggety goodness]

used to get a free slice of fritz from the butcher, don't see that much anymore

and i could be all disruptive and boyish without being told i had ADD or ADHD...

Run 100 metres without needing to be resuscitated.

It all depends on what's on offer, for example, I like meat, but not all types of meat.

Go to Neverland with Uncle Michael

[smac]

Go to the footy at Salisbury with Dad, getting $1 (the paper note!) for the day. Buying a pie, can of coke, mixed lollies and a game or 2 of space invaders (or rally-x, or galaga, or whatever the club had at the time...) with the same $1!
