Reflection

In Mensland the young shop assistant talked of the days when petrol stations had people who pumped the petrol for you. I recalled the self serve at the corner of South road and Hampton Street, on the Hampton side and I suppose the west side, anyway the one with all the shops. Back in 1965 when I first drove a car, my old green FJ Holden, the self serve took 2 shilling pieces and a pound went a long way to filling up my car. I suppose after decimal currency it changed to 20 cent pieces.

DC 1966 when the bank shut for 2 days so we could get ready. I worked in the bank. we had ledgers done by hand, 2 big ones for A -L and then M to Z.
