The 50's were very limited times financially.


you're not kidding !

I got sent next door to watch black & white TV
Our weekly bath was in something that got lowered
from the ceiling.
The 'wash' was done in a 'luxury' gas fired
oil drum & was dried with the aid of a mangle
Fridges only existed in America
Milk came decanted from churns on a wagon
drawn by horses
Only the rich had a phone
Ditto cars
Sugar was still rationed

those were the days




NOT.
