We'd walk in the rain, play in the dirt. Have our mothers use their hankie to wipe our faces.
Je-us we even ate with our hands sometimes. Remember 'Sunlight' soap? and oh for some 'Solvo" to take the skin off.
Food came in paper bags, meat wrapped in paper, as were the fish and chips for 20c. No plastic in sight.
