Lunch in the Coles cafeteria and the Myers windows displays later that night, was a Christmas treat for the kids for many years back then.

Brilliant!! I wasn't born until 71 but my Mum always insisted whenever we go into the City that we dress your best. I think a lot of people here believed that also. They look immaculate. Demons reigning Premiers too !!

I remember carrying a heavy bag of lay-by stuff up the staircase at Myers with my mother back then. It was the first time I saw an elevator which had an attendant to operate it for you. I asked my mother if we could go up in it but she said: "No, they are too exclusive for us". I asked what exclusive meant and she firmly replied: "They are for customers only". I then struggled with the heavy bag of stuff we just bought there and trudged up the staircase thinking my mother makes absolutely no sense at all. Very conservative times for most.

$25.95 for a small Sanyo transistor radio (12 pounds 19 shillings and sixpence) you could get a modern equivalent for about the same money today in numerical terms but that price back then would probably be around $600.00 in todays money!!

Not really as most of the Europeans are immigrants in Australia from the UK and Ireland and even today so many expats in Australia. Loads of racism brought from England to Australia.
