@Adephi Too true! And I remember my Mom watering the garden - every day. And I remember only too well being forced to do it too. We didn't have automatic systems in those days (or we didn't, anyway) and there's nothing more soul-destroying than standing in one spot with a hosepipe in your hand. It has put me off gardening for life!
Oh my gosh - what delicious memories!!
to get hold of my Grandma, I had to phone "2 Kortes and 3 Langes"
As soon as I saw this pic it transported me back in time - and back to that awful smell of urine!
Haha! And reminded me of long queues at basic training barracks at Valhalla! Phoning anybody that would reassure your that everything was going to be ok!

Tok Tokkie - Used to be so much fun!
Oh and plastic fruit....not sure what was its purpose...

Yep - and the kids still play it - and even silly TEENAGERS play it! Here in Yzer during peak season (December) the town is choc-a-block but there's absolutely NOTHING to do here at night, so bored teenagers roam the streets playing tok-tokkie. It's not funny at 2a.m. Last year I disconnected my bell at the driveway gate and I'm not going to reconnect it.
Who remembers having to pay a penny to use a public toilet? Each cubicle door had a slot thingy on it, into which the penny was inserted and only then did the door open.
Looks like the wheel is turning full circle, unless this article is an April Fool's joke!

Who remembers the old Tron toy
It was a two wheeler cycle and had this plastic rip cord thing that when you pulled it through it would make the wheel spin and this thing would go very fast!

These He-man cakes when we were kids. My mom use to bake at least one a week for a birthday party.
My mom actually discovered the pan and wanted to make one for my 40th. But my boy wanted an Aquaman cake. So my mom improvised.

WOW! You have a Super-Mom @Adephi!!
They have it in the UK. Honestly, I don't mind paying to use the restroom because the ones where you have to pay are generally much cleaner and better stocked with toilet paper and hand soap. A few years ago I was in the Eastern Cape and we drove through Rouxville, a very small town if you blink you'll miss it, and they had one of these pay to use restrooms at the garage there. They were, however, the first pay restroom I encountered that was not well stocked.
