Speaker 5: So let's talk about what I'm going to write about

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 5: in the paper next Monday. I'm doing a bit of

26
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 5: research at the moment, so we might ask a few

27
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 5: people to ring in and tell us about the job

28
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 5: that they used to do that is no longer available,

29
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 5: that is gone, disappeared, its vanished, and so many of

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 5: those jobs. Oh, when do you stop and think about it.

31
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 5: We live in a totally different world to when I

32
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 5: was growing up. Now I have to tell you this,

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 5: This is going to shock you.

34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: Well it might not.

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 5: I got my first job in nineteen fifty seven, well

36
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 5: nearly seventy years ago. That's a long time ago. I

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 5: don't know whether to be proud about that, or i'd

38
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 5: be proud I celebrate the fact that I can still

39
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 5: remember it. Yeah, I started as a telegram boy, all right.

40
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 5: Now I have to Now I find myself explaining to

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 5: my grandchildren what a telegram boy is. First of all,

42
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 5: they don't know what a telegram is. And when I

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 5: explain a telegram to them, well, why would anybody, especially

44
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 5: a fourteen year old kid, that's how old I was

45
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 5: at the time, Why would they have to get on

46
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 5: a pushbike and deliver it anyway? Like, I mean, who

47
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 5: rides a pushbike anymore? Just in the text, that's right.

48
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: So it's a wonderful story.

49
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 5: Rabbi who was my uber driver in tonight, couldn't believe

50
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 5: I was talking to him on the way in. I

51
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 5: always get chatting to uber drivers and we were talking

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 5: about I was telling him what I was coming in for,

53
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 5: and I said, went, well, for example, I might, I

54
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 5: might talk about a milky.

55
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 3: He said, well, what's a milky? As a man who

56
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: delivered milk? What do you mean somebody who delivers milk?

57
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: Don't you go to the supermargup for milk?

58
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: Well you do today, yeah, what you do delivers.

59
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 5: But in those days, of course, there was a well,

60
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 5: well I call it a profession, a job, I don't know,

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 5: and many of them behind a horse because they delivered

62
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 5: by horse and car. In fact, here's a story I

63
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 5: recall back in about nineteen seventy two. I was coming

64
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 5: home from the mid dawn shift on five AD at

65
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 5: the time, which is now mixed one O two point three.

66
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 5: So that's the other thing. Thank god five Double A

67
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 5: kept five Double A.

68
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: All the other radios that we've all disappeared. But I was.

69
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 5: I was doing the midnight to dawn radio shift, and

70
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 5: as I was driving up find And Road, I saw

71
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 5: the milky in front of me and the and the

72
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 5: horse clip clopping along. I was ninety seventy two and

73
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 5: the horse clip clopping along, and he stops, and the

74
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 5: milky gets off, runs down to do some deliveries. The

75
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 5: horse clip clops along and waits for him. The milky

76
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 5: comes back, feels back, fills up his crate of milk again,

77
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 5: and then the horse clip clops on.

78
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: The milk is off again. And that's how he did it.

79
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 5: I thought to myself at the time, you know I

80
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 5: could be seeing I mean, this is not going to

81
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 5: last forever, and what I'm actually witnessing here is probably

82
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 5: the last of the old days when people delivered by

83
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 5: horse and cart.

84
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,679
Speaker 3: How long since you've seen a horse and cart in Adelaide?

85
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: Well, I mean the beer one used to go around

86
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: here at the Cooper's one. But as a boy again

87
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: mid seventies, I was walking. I used to go to

88
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: Saint Michael's Primary School, which is on East Terrace at Beverly,

89
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: and walking along East Terrace from the bus stop or

90
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: the train station, there was the milky with the horse

91
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: and cart, still in the mid seventies, and that's the

92
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: only one I've ever seen horse and cart in terms

93
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: of delivering anything. But they were still using that that

94
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: local milky in the Beverly area, right through the seventies.

95
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, and probably till the horse died.

96
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: I think.

97
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 5: I think the Milkies did it for longer than anybody

98
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 5: else because the baker, the baker, I think, started to

99
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 5: go to Baker's van, right, like I can remember the

100
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 5: tip Top van, yeah yeah, yeah, and the various other vans. Yes,

101
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 5: that came along, so we'd our bread delivered by van.

102
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, and so that I think that changed.

103
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 3: A little earlier.

104
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 5: But certainly the Milkies it was within their interest to

105
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 5: keep the horse and cart because the horse knew the

106
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 5: it knew it up, you know, he knew where to go,

107
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 5: knew when to stop, and he was an absolute ally.

108
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 5: He was like he worked hand in glove absolutely.

109
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 3: With the with the milkie, and.

110
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: They would have worn gloves in winter for sure.

111
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 3: So artificial intelligence.

112
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, catching up personifide Yeah, yeah, and you

113
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: know poor old Raby there saying well, why wouldn't you

114
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: go to the supermarket. I suppose in those days supermarkets

115
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: weren't weren't around in that maybe the start well that

116
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: was the startup, but they weren't open, you know, the

117
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: way they are now. It was nine till five and

118
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: weekends closed twelve pm Saturdays.

119
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 5: And you know the milkie used to deliver more than

120
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 5: just milk. I can remember cream, okay, I think he

121
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 5: also he might have delivered some custard maybe and other

122
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 5: dairy product of the stuff that Amskull made, okay, not

123
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 5: ice cream, of course, very low, especially in summer. But

124
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 5: we thought tonight we might ask people to ring in

125
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 5: and tell us about their jobs.

126
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: That they know will no longer exist or no longer exist.

127
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

128
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 5: For example, there's the tea lady m you know, like, yes,

129
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 5: did you ever have.

130
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: A tea I had a tea lady in my early

131
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: days in the nineteen eighties and full time work in

132
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: an office. There was still a tea lady, but it

133
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: only lasted two or three months and then she retired

134
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: and that was it.

135
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 4: Had to go get my own cup of tea.

136
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 5: I worked at five d N when I came over

137
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,480

00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,800

160
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 5: You know, it seems almost unbelievable in this day and

161
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 5: age that a company would actually hire somebody and pay

162
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 5: them money for them to walk around the floor and

163
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 5: give everybody a.

164
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 3: Cup of tea.

165
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 2: And these days, you know, you'd say, is it herbal?

166
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: Is the milk from from goats from the acts on

167
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: the southern side of the Andes or the northern side.

168
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 5: We were talking about other things just before I came

169
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 5: on the air, and I mentioned bus or tram conductor. Yes,

170
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 5: and I know that you had a bit of a

171
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 5: end to be a tram.

172
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 2: Collect I just collect the tickets with the little meadows

173
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: on the back. If anyone's got any, by the way,

174
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: mailed them in.

175
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 3: Check that in. Yeah. But you know they used to.

176
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 5: They used to move through the tram or the bus

177
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 5: as it was moving along, and they would take fares

178
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 5: because you're paid on the bus. They would answer questions,

179
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 5: they would help people with stops so that you know,

180
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 5: you knew when to get on and get off. And

181
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 5: the good conductors there were quite a few of faith.

182
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 5: I think that there was one in Adelaide. Might have

183
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 5: been an Adelaide or maybe it was Melbourne who was

184
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 5: a singing bus or tram.

185
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 4: Conduct had a headache, yes, shut up, and.

186
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: He used to sing really yeah and entertained people.

187
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 4: Wow.

188
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 5: So it was that was a little bit of an

189
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 5: extra and added bonus all night.

190
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 3: What about that?

191
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, being a tram conductor going through

192
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 5: the tram leisurely, taking money and giving a ticket and

193
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 5: punching a ticket.

194
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: These days, you'd get robbed, wouldn't you.

195
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 5: Oh?

196
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 3: Quite probably.

197
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: I was a newsboy back in the days, job in

198
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: the mediators. Yeah, for a while over a summer back

199
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: in seventy five, seventy six and twelve cents of paper.

200
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah you got twelve cents or is that how.

201
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 4: Much the paper was? Twelve cent?

202
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, yeah, you made about two cents. Yeah, probably

203
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: you made about two bucks a day, I think, although.

204
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 5: A lot of the paper boys made money out of.

205
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: A tips.

206
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 5: You know, somebody's rushing for the tram or the or

207
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 5: the bus or the train and the kid tells you

208
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 5: the paper, or he gives you the paper, and well

209
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 5: he said, and he gives you two shillings and they

210
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 5: starts looking in his bag trying to find the change,

211
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 5: and he says, oh, keep the change, I've got to

212
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 5: catch the tram. So it was a good plot, yes,

213
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 5: you know. And and you know the other thing about

214
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 5: those kids they used to sell at stop lights run

215
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 5: into the trams.

216
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: Crazy.

217
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 3: Can you imagine imagine today? Dangerous?

218
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 4: That would invest in a flag on your head.

219
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 5: So you know, there are there are a few jobs. Manuals,

220
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 5: switchboard operator number. Please are you extending?

221
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 2: You talked to them even in public phones, wouldn't you?

222
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: We had to push A and B remember that, And

223
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: if you wanted long distance they connect to, you'd give

224
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: them the number. It's crazy, it's weird. So what happened

225
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 2: to that world?

226
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,319

230
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: like the good old days. Bob, we need to take

231

Speaker 4: A twenty on five double A adelaide.

235
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,640

236
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: that don't exist anymore. Did you do a job that

237
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: is not around because of technology or changing times?

238
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 4: Love to hear from you.

239
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 2: Bob's writing about it for his TiSER article in Boomer

240
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: next Monday. Jeff at Gleneld North, could I, Jeff Gold they.

241
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 6: Sous because you people were a limousine chauffeur day. Yeah,

242
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 6: I'm thinking back to probably before Bob, when a car

243
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 6: was driving down the road in the early days, there

244
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 6: had to be a person walking in through them with

245
00:12:58,920 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 6: a fame.

246
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's coming back.

247
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 6: Andy, Well, I never saw it myself.

248
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 7: No, I was born.

249
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 6: At the end of this war, but I think sometime

250
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 6: before the First World War that was actually a war.

251
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, Well what about I mean there were no

252
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:25,479
Speaker 5: such things as traffic lights, and when when they eventually

253
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 5: started to control traffic, it was with flags, right, so

254
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 5: a red flagman start okay, and the green flagman go.

255
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: Oh.

256
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 6: I won't talk about it, but I have been with

257
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 6: taxi drivers, have taken a trip and these people were

258
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 6: not born in Australia. Have either of you two got

259
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 6: interesting or more interesting stories along the same lines wondering

260
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 6: whether these people should would actually be allowed to draw it?

261
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: Well, I don't reckon, it's just any particular occupation. Really,

262
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 2: you see some odd things on the road and the RAA.

263
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: If you have a look at their website, they've got

264
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 2: a whole heap of driving, you know, stupidities. But as

265
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 2: for people walking along in front of cars with flags,

266
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: I reckon. The Adelaide City Council wants to bring that back.

267
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: They're talking about thirty kilometer an hour speed limit in

268
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: the city.

269
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 4: It won't be long. That's the next step. It's we're

270
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 4: only one off that. Thank you. Jeff Adele at Highbury,

271
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 4: good Adele.

272
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 8: Yes, hello, good evening, love you to speak to you both.

273
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 8: I do know Bob when his wife Helen, oh hey,

274
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 8: she lived there. I remember when we had to stop

275
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 8: for a funeral stop. Oh yes, and addressed that as

276
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 8: a form of protocol for respect.

277
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 4: Yes, we did that.

278
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 8: And I remember Helen went to the same church that

279
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 8: I did in Wyla.

280
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: Wow, that's going back a few years.

281
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 8: Yes, I know all.

282
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to thank you. I'm just trying to

283
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 5: think of who Adele my be. But anyway, chill.

284
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 8: Saint Martin's in Wyala, and her mother used to play

285
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 8: the piano in the auburn when we were at Saint

286
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 8: Martin's Anglican Church.

287
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

288
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 8: I also worked in the bank and we used to

289
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 8: writing the past books. They do that now, of course,

290
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 8: and children used to love to see what they had

291
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 8: at the end of the week all months.

292
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 5: Well, that was something we talked about a couple of

293
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 5: weeks ago. We were talking about, you know, how money

294
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 5: is disappearing now and becoming just something on the internet,

295
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 5: and we discussed how you know, when you'd go to

296
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 5: the bank, there was your whole banking history in a

297
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 5: little book.

298
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 8: Absolutely, absolutely, and I used to be the school bank

299
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 8: lady for seven schools.

300
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: What were you?

301
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 9: The talent?

302
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 8: The money were the Greek and Italians and yugoslabs. I

303
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 8: used to say, rashee you next week. But I loved it,

304
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 8: because that doesn't happen now. Bank and I used to

305
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 8: love it. And I also loved my job in the bank,

306
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 8: which was the previous Savings Bank of South Australia.

307
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 5: And and of course bank tellers by and large don't

308
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 5: exist very much anymore.

309
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: I was.

310
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 8: A bank teller and I progressed into the ledger machinists. Yes,

311
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 8: and then went on and I and is there.

312
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 5: Is there such a thing as a ledger machinist anymore?

313
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 10: No?

314
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 8: No, n CR was a good one and we I

315
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 8: didn't always enjoy them, always a clatter clatter clatter. But

316
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 8: I'm a financial financial counselor now for a lot of people.

317
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: Wow, okay, we're still in the financial industry. Good I Verna, Pasadena,

318
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:52,720

534
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,400

00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 14: when it was, when it got built. I was lucky

536
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,680

00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 14: I used to ride my pushbike down to and Praye.

547

Speaker 3: Yeah.

550
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 14: And the thing is my dad was very strict. He said,

00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 14: you know, summer holidays, you got six weeks off. You're

552

554
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 14: the Charles Castle at the time, it was a wood

555
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 14: Bill CAUNI when Westlakes was getting built and they needed

556
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 14: all these mounds to be watered and there was no

557
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 14: watering system. So my job, and I'll tell you it's

558
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 14: still the best job ever had the kid that a

559
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 14: fourteen fifteen year old kid was riding my pushbike around

560
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 14: and move. You know, the sprinkles had the big arms

561
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 14: and the cable agricultural. My job was to reset them

562
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 14: and I used to ride around for about six hours

563
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 14: resetting these sprinklers. And you know, there is a Facebook

564
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 14: page that shows what West Flakes was.

565

Speaker 8: Now.

823
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 9: I was a former switchboard operator and a mailroom manager

824
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 9: at Defense Center Adelaide was Kewick Barracks, Florodale Barracks. Now,

825
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 9: when I was at Kenzick Barracks, that was my first

826
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 9: job in nineteen eighty four till nineteen ninety five. We

827
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 9: used to make tea and coffee for the lieutenant colonel,

828
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 9: me and the other my colleague in that typing we

829
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 9: had a typing pool, just me and my colleague. Then

830
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 9: we had another big typing pool in the opposite one

831
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 9: that you know the big buildings on Ansac Highway.

832
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 4: It was still there, Yeah, the main building.

833
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, that was a bigger typing pool. Well, we're on

834
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 9: the smaller typing pool. But we used to fill up

835
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 9: and earn to make tea and coffee. And the men's

836
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 9: toilets which was just next to the typing pool, so

837
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 9: you'd have to knock on the door loudly just to

838
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 9: check whether nobody was in the toilet. But I did

839
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 9: get mistaken once and I did didn't knock loud enough,

840
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 9: so I had to get red face and really walk out.

841
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 7: Because I didn't hear.

842
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 9: Here was accidentally. And then then we had Doug Littercut

843
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 9: come and do you remember Doug the Littcut typewriter to cleaner.

844
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 9: Doug Littercut. It was a company in the city somewhere

845
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 9: and he would come and clean our our manual typewriters.

846
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 18: Out and greets them up.

847
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 9: And then in the mid nineties, we were so happy

848
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 9: we got the electronic typewriter, the Smith Corona, and we

849
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 9: were extremely happy with that new found, newfound technology that

850
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 9: was so amazing where we didn't have to get our

851
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 9: fingers stabbed inside the stats of the manual typewriter. And

852
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 9: I've been collecting typewriters. I'm a bit like Tom Hanks.

853
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 9: He collected typewriters, and I love them because they are absolutely,

854
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 9: absolutely unreal pieces of technology.

855
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 2: I've got my dad's typewriters somewhere here and they're worth

856
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 2: a lot of some of it worth a lot of money.

857
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 3: Really, yeah wow.

858
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 5: And we'll become more so as time goes on, because

859
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 5: there won't be very many of them.

860
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 2: Lat great memories, Lily, Thank you typewriters. And remember the
