FOOD and EATING IN THE FIFTIES and SIXTIES IN AUSTRALIA :

Pasta was not eaten in Australia or N.Z.

Curry was a surname.

A takeaway was a mathematical problem.

A pizza was something to do with a leaning tower.

All potato chips were plain; the only choice we had was whether to put the salt on or not.

Rice was only eaten as a milk pudding.

Calamari was called squid and we used it as fish bait.

A Mac was what we wore when it was raining.

Brown bread was something only poor people ate.

Oil was for lubricating, fat or "dripping" was for cooking.

Tea was made in a teapot using tea leaves and was never "green."

Sugar was in everything in those days, and was regarded as being white gold. Cubed sugar was regarded as "posh."

Fish didn't have fingers in those days.

Eating raw fish was called poverty, not sushi.

None of us had ever heard of yoghurt.

Healthy food consisted of anything edible.

People who didn't peel potatoes were regarded as lazy.

Indian restaurants were only found in India.

Cooking outside was called camping.

Seaweed was not a recognised food.

"Kebab" was not even a word, never mind a food.

Prunes were medicinal.

Surprisingly, muesli was readily available, it was called cattle feed.

Water came out of the tap. If someone had suggested bottling it and charging more than petrol for it, they would have become a laughing stock!!

But the one thing that we never ever had on our table in the sixties .....Elbows or Phones!
 
It does nothing at all for me; no perceived motion at all.
For me ... it's v-e-r-y s-l-o-w almost to the point of no motion.
For me it only moves if I move my eyes a little bit left or right. If I stare at it without any eye motion, nothing happens.
But it is very funny how simple it is to fool a brain (and I surely believe we all have one).
 
His laughter is so contagious!

Yes, the worse part is he works out of California. When this was shot back in 2016, they had a minimum wage of $10/hr. At $1.90 per car, the break even point assuming no insurance, travel time, benefits, car soap etc. (which is not the case) would be 11.4 minutes per car. In an 8 hour day, an employee would have to wash 42 cars for it to only cost Joe $1.90.


Talk about a cheap dealership! The same jerks probably charge $135/hr labor for service, yet replacing a blower motor that is directly under the passenger side hanging with three screws and a power connector (15 minute job with an $85 part) probably still gets billed at $600.
