Curtains?? You had curtains?

We had metal rods we hung and when the dogs shed we braided their hair and tied it on the rod to cover the window.

You had glue?

If we wanted to stick things together we had to spit on them and then hold them together until it dried.

When I was a lad, When going to school, I had to carry a hot potato to keep my hands warm on the uphill walk 50 miles thru 6 Feet of snow, with my brother on my back, seeing as I had the only pair of shoes. When I got ta school I ate half the potato for breakfast and that other half for lunch. After school it was another 50 mile walk up hill to get back home.

So you were poor?? Well we were so poor the first thing laundered was the toilet paper, and even our tinned food was grown in the back yard cos we couldn't afford the supermarket stuff.

And toys??? We had no toys... had to put our hands in our pockets so we could at least play pocket billiards.

At X-mas time, we had no tree decorations... couldn't afford 'em. Instead we had to get grandpa to sneeze on it.... that's when we had a tree... most years all we had was the memory of one we'd seen from outside a store (couldn't afford to go in).

Worse still, when the nothing we had got repossessed, they wouldn't even let us walk past the store cos we were so poor. Then all we had were the distant memories of the nothing we had and cherished because it was better than something else.

Things eventually got better... about fifty years later... and with a lot of hard work we got the nothing we had back. Trouble is, we're fifty years closer to that something else, and then we'll be back to having less than nothing again.

Hah!!! Is that ALL?? When I was a teen, I had to walk across the Nullabor from Fremantle to Melbourne in 60 C heat every day, as well as backwards and over broken Swan Lager stubbies, wearing a blindfold fashioned from a live Western Taipan.... on my hands... without gloves.

Yeah.... and ain't it a bugger, going around in constant but ever decreasing circles.

Happened to me once... eventually I'd drilled a hole to China and had my dingo confiscated by a chop suey restaraunt.
