Back in the 80's I didn't know any houses that had gas connections until I moved to Melbourne. Any house that had gas appliances had big mofo gas bottles outside.

When I moved into a house in Camberwell in 86 with a mate from Gippsland and my GF at the time, us 2 boys spent ages trying to find the gas bottles outside before the Melbourne chick explained that Gas actually came through pipes not bottles.

You could reverse this thread with "things you said in the 80's but wouldn't say now", but I'd most likely get banned... or arrested
