On the farm we had Parquet floors in the lounge and bedrooms .
Don't think ppl like them now.

In the old days most of the clothing was made at home!
I remember those! My mom used to buy those packs with the thin paper patterns and then cut them out and do the stitching and so on. Wow, takes me back!

@ARYANTO It was a must-have at one time, wasn't it? Nowadays it's screed cement or laminated flooring.
@Rob Fisher Oh absolutely! My Mom made all our clothes. I remember those patterns, of which she had quite a lot! She also knitted all our jerseyes and gloves. I must say I have so much respect for the abilities of women in the old days. They could cook, bake, sew, darn socks, patch collars, knit, crochet, run the household finances in a frugal way, cultivate a pretty garden etc. etc. They were Superwomen! My greatest regret is that I didn't want to learn from my Mom!!
Nowadays a woman thinks she's Superwoman if she has a corner office, a domestic to clean her home and have dinner prepared for when she gets home and PnP or Woolworths to deliver her groceries. They ain't a touch on the women of yesteryear!!
I wish we had cell phone photography in the 70-80's there was so many images that could have been captured with a Samsung s10 , rather than a Kodak instamatic with 4 rotating flashbulbs.
Anyone know what these were for?
I remember those. My mom used to make the most horrendous clothes that i had to wear.
Didnt have the heart to tell her
So yesterday I was vaping some Red pill and that flavour reminded me of something I had in my childhood and this morning I took a pull and it immediately came rushing back, anybody remember these, don't see them much anymore but my grandmother always had these candies in her handbag, never left home without them, and the flavour of them reminds me of Red pill minus the menthol.

Bicycle clips! I normally just stuck a pants leg into a sock, cheaper version!
Pencil and patience, and fast forward over the part that folded so it doesn’t happen again.
No clue ?
Used to chase this thing through the streets of Springs during school holidays at my sisters there.
I remember the scramble to get to the gate when we heard "the icecream boy"! Such a pity we don't have it nowadays. I'm sure it would be just as popular as it was then!
I'd forgotten all about this! I used to love doing it - haven't a clue now though, but perhaps that's where my love of crocheting began!
We had an English bulldog(whisky)who always went mad when he heard that ice cream tune kilometers away and then always got the first ice cream

We had Rickets and had our hair painted purple for the ringworm.
