About Me
- Robert Kidd
- Raleigh Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia
- Hi my name is Robert Kidd and I was born in Sydney Australia in 1952, My youth was a time of growing up in the Western Suburbs of Sydney when it took five minutes for the black and white TV warm up, thats if you had a TV- Nearly everyone's Mum was at home when the kids got home from school- You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny-All your male teachers wore ties-You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and petrol pumped, without asking, all for free- It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real Restaurant with your Parents- They threatened to keep kids back a year if they failed and they did- When a 1957 Holden was everyone's dream car-No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition and the doors were never locked- playing footy with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game-Stuff from the shop came without safety caps and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger- What a time it was Yeah
