- What did children do back in the 50s and 60s? Back then, it was a totally different world! I doubt that youngsters of today would be able to grasp the idea of life back then. Also in this episode, wireless and TV back in the old days, mobile phone these days and lots of other goodies. Please, join me.

@@susancarter9862 I’m glad you liked it. I’ll try and get it right next week! 😂
Thanks great talk! Love these talks about the old days. I am closer to 50 now then 40 so there are things i can remember... Days with only radio i don't there was always a tv in the house. We had 3 channels and some German tv channels. The series from the 60s like StarTrek are fun... But i like StarTrek Deep Space 9 a lot. That is a favourite of mine. Starwars is great too... I like watching tv normal television. Mostly the German channels i don't watch the Dutch television much. Netflix... I had it a short time... Yes those yesteryears were realy great and i am happy that i know the days without a mobile phone and these days... the phone is more at home when i am away. I like it ... Thanks Ray for another great podcast!
@@rolfsblog Hi Rolf, great to hear from you. I don’t watch a great deal of television. we have Netflix but rarely watch it . No mobile phone…. Happy days! Cheers, Ray.
Hi Ray, interesting podcast. It is evening here.The deep ocean sounds great... let's all move there!!! I started off with a dinky, rode around 500kph down a steep hill nearby and totally destroyed it. I then advanced to scooters and later billy carts. Back in the old days, I used to receive Disney comics, annuals and matchbox cars as presents. Our motto was if we saw a sign saying "Enter at your own risk" we would say okay let's go in!!! it was a world of adventure back then. I used to collect coins and I was always after a 1930 Australian penny, which was rare and valuable. I could never find one, though I did have a 1930 English penny, which was not worth any more than its own value. I wasn't aware of the 1933 English penny being valuable. I also collected Wheat-Bix cards. My grandfather used to tell me hat i could not get down off a sheep, though I could get down off a duck. Not knowing down was feathers, I was wondering why anyone would ride a sheep or a duck!!! Back in the day, if we fell over in a park, we would get back up and dust ourselves off and tend to our wounds and show off the cars later. These days, if a child falls in a park, the family sues the council!!! I got my first transistor radio in 1967. It was a Tokai MW SW radio and it still works today. My dad used to have an Oceanic TI MW SW radio, which he bought in 1938 from Mick Simmons in Sydney. I am like you with material things. I am content with what I have. I think having too much money can cause extra stress. Incidentally, have you ever charged through a chicken coup? I did that with some kids on a farm years ago. We came out covered in feathers, eggs and having roosters pecking us on our heads. Good fun!!! Just of interest, to find things, especially when I move anything, I keep a "Lost and Found" list, which I continually update. Yes, we have "Murdock Mysteries" on TV here also. It is quite a good show. Incidentally, does your mobile phone show which cell you are on? My first mobile phone had the cell location displayed and I used to try and receive distant cell locations (Mobile Phone DX??). We still use TV antennas here. Cable is far too expensive. I used to work with a chap originally from Liverpool UK and he told me that Rediffusion was evil...he absolutely hated it!!! You are allowed to have a bonfire, as long as you are cooking sausages over it!!! Anyway, take care. Rob in Melbourne Australia.
Hi Rob, good to hear from you. I know several people who worked for Rediffusion. I think they'd agree with you! Cheers, Ray.
Kids were rotten when you were young!
