WOW! Those prices! Still, although they were no doubt bargains, some of the things would have been beyond the spending money of a lot of people at the time. We have so much now, so many goods all around us [and certainly here in England at eye watering prices] especially for houses.Glad I don't have to buy those corsets though.

That makes two of us, Jackie. Remember the little wooden spoons we ate them with?

Yes indeed, my gym suit was puke green too, and I was a chubby kid, and they never had one that quite fit me. Used to try to make excuses to get out of gym class.

We had an Atwater Kent radio which meant for me Jack Armstrong, Little Orphan Annie and Captain Midnight

I sure do! Once, my mother wrapped by books in expensive, sturdy & pretty gift-wrap paper. I was humiliated! I cried until my father ripped it off and re-wrapped the books in the brown paper bags, just like everyone else's.

Hate having to put air in my tires - but I have never paid for air. How much do you pay, and does someone do it for you?
I wish I could pay someone because I am never sure I have done it correctly, although it is better now that the machines beep to let you know when to stop...Also not so keen on bending down s I get older lol..

I would like to go back to the old days of having an attendant in the petrol station, and proper check-out service in the supermarkets
