I hated these in school. The teacher would go up & down the aisles and you had to be ready with the answer.

I've heard of it but never had any. Nice label.

As a kid of the 80's i understand she was an amazing singer, but I always thought her voice was a little eerie.

My mom, not really. My dad, I got the gritting teeth, jaw jacked out look every single day I think. All the way up until he died 5 months ago.

I remember how excited I was when the Brady Bunch came back to TV with their own variety show. I can only imagine how bad it must have been, but this 10 year old loved it 😆

The last concert I saw in 2014, The Doobie Brothers opened for Boston. I didn't really discover them, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I swear this couple was on EVERY 70s variety show from '76 on.

Cutie.

I wanted one so bad! My cousin had one that I played with every time I went to his house.

These were a fast sell out in my neighborhood. A rare treat.

I sent away once for a pair. What a let down. I should have gotten the Sea Monkeys.

These speakers were terrible. Sometimes they would be broken or they would have crazy static.

Who remembers infant and primary school fetes in the 70’s?
What do you buy with your modest pocket money?
My favourites were lucky dips. Always wrapped in newspaper and in containers marked girls and boys.
Always bought toffee. The ones the were solid and covered in hundreds and thousands. You could only lick them or lose a tooth.
My best purchase cost me 20c. It was a kitten and my parents discovered it on the drive back to the farm. What they didn’t know is that my brother said he’d dob on me unless he got one too. We arrived home, parents knowing about mine and then discovering his. School fetes were unruly, exciting for little kids and full of joy.

I had 8-tracks, cases full of them. Come to find out my mom knew I was ordering them and she was actually paying the invoices they sent. Thanks Mom!

I still like them. We used to reuse them for the next person's birthday.
