I remember when...

- we'd receive a little brown envelope each week for our toil (more fun than being paid into the bank, but considerably more dangerous for a young bloke)
- anything "Made in Japan" was considered rubbish (except of course Shintaro Akikusa)
- the Poms were good at sport
- rugby league was entertaining
- the highest tech in footware for general sport was the 'sandshoe'
- Dick Smith was making a fortune importing foreign-made electronics
- 'sophisticated' beverages included brown muscat and 'Blackberry Nip'

and maybe the biggest change:
- to be famous you had to have actually done something




Cheers.
