OSF Contributor Mexican Gerbil Posted July 11, 2018 OSF Contributor Report Posted July 11, 2018 After I telephoned on my corded landline to the individual fuel stations, I’ve found Tesco momentum is 99 which is the highest I’ve found at the moment. BP did a 102 but struggling to find it.
PeterMEscort Posted July 11, 2018 Report Posted July 11, 2018 That tv's were originally black and white, and we had shows that were both entertaining and interesting. Including shows like "On The Buses", "Hogan's Hero's", "Steptoe And Son", "The Two Ronnies", "Love Thy Neighbour", "Gilligan's Island", "Get Smart", "The Professionals" and lot's of Australian home brewed shows. These days tv is a waste of electricity. Seemingly all mind bending violent American rubbish.
PeterMEscort Posted July 11, 2018 Report Posted July 11, 2018 "How do you explain that to young children now "1970s Dad wasn't your friend but a slightly remote authority figure who earned the money, had a mostly separate social life to the family, and gave out physical punishment." " Dad always had the slightly remote authority, but only when mum wasn't in the same room at the same time. ......And if you were are smart arse at school you copped the cane from the teacher vertically down across the finger tips of your out stretched hand. And if you were a smart arse at the teacher holding the cane, at the time of the caning, he would then again cane you across the finger tips of your out stretched hand, then return vertically up to also get the finger nails. Unfortunately on one occassion the cane snapped on the up stroke. Mr Halsworth was very cranky that day.....
