Barney and Fred smoking Winstons. Of course.
When I was a kid my mom used to give me some money to go to the corner store to get her a pack of Number 7s. Rode my bike without a helmet too. Did have a playing card in the spokes to make it sound like a motorcycle. Later on in the day, my buddy and I would help a local orchardist scare off starlings from his orchard trees. He had a 12 gauge, but we were allowed 410s. He even had shells with rocksalt that were supposedly for chasing off 2 legged critters that were slealing from him.
The old “Be home before dark” days of parenting.
So right George…”be home by dinner or before the streetlights come on”
Raised in Toronto, Saturdays meant my pals & I took off on bikes or Transit and travelled everywhere…no cell phones or hovering parents.
Probably 75% of the commercials would not air today…
