    Default How Times Change!!

    When I was a boy, once a week my Mum would give me a list and 10 shillings and I'd go off to the local store.
    I'd come back a while later with a sack of potatoes, a bag of flour, some eggs if the chooks were off the lay, a bottle of milk, maybe some Log Cabin Fine Cut Tobacco for my Dad, perhaps some hair clips for my Mum, and some lollies for me.

    You can't do that nowadays...too many bloody security cameras.

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
