'If they put up the minimum wage to 5 shillings, nobody will be able to employanyone to help in the shops.

'When I first started driving, who would have thought petrol would someday cost 10/- a gallon. I suppose we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.

'I'm afraid to send my kids to the pictures any more Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new film has either HELL or DAMN in it.

'I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it in Texas USA.
