AND sandy, I presume whoever composed it isn't as old as you and was a couple of bob out, but nevertheless it makes for amusing reading as was intended/

Remember the 50's well and the last tram. Would catch the tram home on a Saturday night after a night out at the dance hall.Sometimes a boy would accompany me home.
Just as we approached my house the door would open , there would be my Father.
He would thank the boy for bringing me home , and wish him goodnight.
Oh dear the 50's ----years of missed opportunity !!!!!!
