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.
How DID we survive all this?? 
Penicillin!!! It was the golden age where simple infections that could kill U quick in previous years were no longer an issue.
I had tetanus as a baby. I doubt that I would have survived if I had been born 20 years earlier.

I had tetanus when I was a month old. I doubt that I would have survived if I had been born 20 years earlier.
