Playground equipment was made from wood, not cheap plastic

You could climb high on the monkey bars and spin fast on the playground equipment without the threat of lawsuits if someone fell over

Cleaning was hot water and elbow grease, not antibacterial everything filling the supermarket shelves

A bit of dirt was good, built resistance

You could have soft-yolked boiled eggs or salad dressing without the 'this product contains raw eggs' warnings

Real cows' milk

Small houses with big yards to play in, rather than the opposite

Riding in the back of a ute or tray truck, no seat belts or anything!

Fruit and veges didn't look as perfect, but tasted a hundred times better

Gawd, and I'm only 32!
