It's still last year compared to Australia, as I write this, in New Jersey, USA, 3:21PM. Happy New Year! And nice to see Vintage Radio and TV alive again.

I never celebrate New Years Eve. There always quite ones for me since I was about 25 anyway. But thank you, and lets all hope we get a less troubled world this year. 2017 had some shocking moments. Pete Oh ps please dont show us what you were wearing last night, I'm still trying to get over those last pictures of you that you posted here😆

I'm such a Dag, when it comes to clothes. I have one pair of jeans and couple of shirts and when the jeans turn to holes I fork out 100 bucks for anther pair of Levis.I also keep missing the Barber so my hair is long at times and such a uncouth mess I often look like someone you would see back in 1973 driving a $100 vw Kombie. I tend to always look like I just got out of bed or I have not been to bed !! If you met me you would think I'm im going through a mid life crisis, well if I am? It started 30 years ago! Such a Dag these days!

$100 for a pair of Levi jeans? You can get them in the USA for around $40 on sale.

$100 for a pair of Levi jeans? You can get them in the USA for around $40 on sale. Population of USA: 326.6 million (July 2017 est.) Population of Oz: 23.2 million (July 2017 est.) Do the retail maths. Genuine Levis can be bought online here for around $80.

It probably was a bit of a rort, considering the exchange rate of the time. The battler would have been worth about US$1.20 at the time. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away...
