Here in Perth I dont know anyone who drinks water from a tap,over here everyone buys bottled water.We put water from a tap into a filter jug and drink that.

And that is almost always true. It will be better to be alive in 30 years than it is now The good old days were shit in comparison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 A Big Mac and fries from maccies is more enjoyable than the colossal medium-rare burgers in brioche buns with a gazillion toppings and massive chips you get everywhere now. The ideal burger is just a delicious patty with good meat and slightly under with a bun and sauce of your choice, but you practically can’t buy that these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I love a fried egg in a burger, quite rare though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2022 Even when the burger meat was good, it was a shit burger. Two patties, one slice of cheese, extra bread, shit sauce bleurgh, not for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark Albrighton Posted December 8, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2022 I’m not bothered about steak. It’s alright, I’m happy enough to eat it, but I never choose it. People evidently appear to get more out of it than I do. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( my parents are both English and although I hold an English passport I have never lived in England ) As for forgetting the bad times,do you mean forgetting that we had servants to do everything and we had to do virtually nothing at all ( I even had 2 brothers ) who read comics to me so that I didnt have to read them myself.Or do you mean the other bad times,when I was enjoying myself with my mates running around the streets having fun,splitting up and having fun wars with air rifles,etc,etc,etc.As a point of interest when we had to leave India,half the family went to England and my family settled in New Zealand.I personally do not recall any bad times at all. I should imagine that New Zealand would have been a rather better place to be than a war-ravaged blighty, although kids of the era would have had nothing else to compare it with. The film Hue and Cry (1947) offers a fairly accurate, if romanticised picture of the state of cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
