you are right, my memory thought it was the other way round but now I sit and think it deffo was A to talk and B to get money back.
But the general gist was the advances from then to now, and how we take for granted todays technology without a thought for where it came from, and what we had when we were kids, and what kids have today. Prompting the comment "they dont know they are born today". Who remembers having to take down off a nail in the backyard a galvanised tin bath and taking for granted central heating and baths.
Or what about long drop toilets or tumblers at the bottom of the yard next to the "binoil" and coal shed, you didnt read the newspaper in the toilet it was cut into squares and put on a nail at the back of the door. Happy days or were they ?
