Lost heaps of frequent flyer points when Ansett went down.
Not too lucky there, had a soft spot for Compass Airlines after that, and that also did not end well.

A memory from a childhood ad on telly that could never be shown today. It's been a while since cigs were 33c per pack.

Thirty-three cents
And you're a member.

At school we bought meat pies for 11c and buttered rolls for 5c. I recently sacked a local shop because they raised the price of pies to $8. You could buy a house for $20k.

8 dollars for a pie is disgraceful,no wonder you don't go there anymore.

Which Bond is your fav?

(I pretty much liked them all, maybe Connery although they all their appeal.)

That's pretty common around here, except for the real cheapos. Bit more than 11c. That's about 7,200% increase if my calcs are right.

Roger Moore, suave and Daniel Craig , brooding are my 2 faves.
Always thought Connery was a bit overrated but I know I’m in the minority there.
