reverse charge calls

I remember when I was little and didn't have any money for a call, I'd call 0 (to get through to the operator), and ask for a reverse charge call (so the other person pays it)

the operator would stay on the line and ask them " do you accept this call?", and then they'd leave us to talk

you can't do that now.

you can't even call 0 anymore

tuck shops that just stand on the corner and open for like 2 hours during lunch time, and you could go their and spend your money on little sweets or what ever

icecream trucks

I don't know about all of you- but growing up it was common in the summer for the icecream trucks to come round the corner blaring their music (always the same catchy tune), then all the kids would rush out to get icecreams before the trucked moved on

for the last 3 or 4 summers, I've not even heard them come round

carnivals

I remember when I was a kid, every year the carnival would come to town for about 3 weeks. they built the rides, and the burger stand, all that jazz.. and then after the 3 weeks it was gone
