A lot of servos in Japan still do that. It seems Australia has been sold the " self serve " thing likes it's something positive :lol:

........and finding a dumped can of pink undercoat and 4" paintbrush and using the remaining half a tin to mark up a drag strip on the asphalt

It is amazing what half a dozen kids can paint, and attempt to spell, before the adults venture out on a Sunday morning.

Looked awesome and we got a dozen runs in before someone objected to the colour O

I remember 1966 as being the rip off year for us kids, when the guy at the shop only gave you 5c for your 6 pence. So you had to spend wisely or you got ripped off.

When I was young, I could purchase cheap Chinese digging tools from any detector store, in fact I propped up the economy for a while.

Actually, I could purchase them up until a month ago. Now they have been removed from store shelves because they are considered a dagger by the WA police and I understand they have threatened prosecution if they werent removed from sale.

Anyone out there in a position to assist me in reliving my youth ???

That's why we buy Tygers now made in Australia and the feckers don't break, strangely buying Australian worx out cheaper in the end, and ya get to hand them down to the next generation of diggers
bottom line is chinese is shite
