“I’m loving the David Jones reminisces (C8),” says Margaret Bellingham of Woollahra. “As a teenager I was shopping with my mother for a dress to wear to a special occasion. The lady in black very snootily told my mum I had a ‘champagne taste and a beer pocket’. DJs in those days was always a little, shall we say, upmarket? Sad to say I’m now a very senior person, still with the champagne taste, however not many special occasions.”
Bill Ogilvie of Bathurst is familiar with the Canberran curse of the roundabout (C8): “It’s a wonder we didn’t run into Sonnie Hopkins on her honeymoon in 1967. It was the only time I saw my father really angry. He kept seeing the hotel we were looking for but couldn’t actually get to it.”
“Years ago, I visited a friend in Canberra and had to leave in the early hours of the morning to get back to Sydney for work,” recalls Judi Turnham of Port Macquarie. “I was making good time when a police car pulled me over and asked if I need any assistance as I had driven past them twice already, and they’d been stationary. The innocence/confidence of youth.”
“Patrick Meaney (C8) and anyone else can help to protect their car wiring as well as other edible parts of their car by putting camphor balls in the engine air filter and possibly the glove box,” suggests John Weir of Bigga. “The smell evaporates after a short while but the mice still notice it.”
“Sitting around with friends and discussing political terminologies, as one does, a friend opined that if we have Liberalites and Laborites, does it then follow that ON supporters are ONanites?” asks Paul Koff of Glenhaven. “Oh, dear. To quote Francis Urquhart, ‘You might very well think that. I couldn’t possibly comment’.”
“Colin Taylor-Evans suggests ‘NSW – If You Can Read This You Are Too Close’ for an obvious number plater header (C8),” notes Anne McCarthy of Marrickville.“This brought to mind a photo of a rear window sign sent to me by another grandma that reads: ‘Back Off! I have a Crazy Grandma and I’m Not Afraid To Use Her’.”
On reading Colin’s suggestion, I was reminded of a car sticker, produced by the Teachers Federation that I had in the 1980s,” writes Vicki McDowell of Maroubra. “It read ‘If You Can Read This, Thank a Teacher’.”
