But we would go to the 'Drive In' as a family instead of the cinema and those were some of the most fun evenings I ever had as a child!
We did this too :) My older brother took me and another brother to a double feature - I saw Nightmare on Elm Street 3 at the Drive-in. I was seven.... :D
I am guessing that things have changed a lot in SA since. Do you still live in the region?
I don't know about you but I am usually late to the party when it comes to liking certain styles and by the time they have grown on me, the fad has passed in the shops and items are no longer available.
Me too. I often don't even make it for their retro comeback!
bwahaha...this is so true! I did finally get myself a "record player" lol. At least mine is now a bluetooth turntable and hooked to 2 bluetooth speakers. Only decades late to the party though! and a few years later to it's revival. I do have Alexa and Amazon music on a number of wifi speakers around the house so all is not completely lost! "Nightmare on Elm Street"...brave! I'm not one for horror films. I get too freaked out lol. I remember seeing Grease and Zanadu at the drive in though. My parents loved musicals and I'm a fan too :-) I've been living in the UK since 2001. Things are tough out in SA. Corruption is rife in government, small businesses stifled unless they follow the B.E.E. model (which is not always feasible or equitable), unemployment is very high and poverty sadly is widespread, which drives up the crime rate. Recent mass political unrest and rioting was particularly scary for family and friends still living out there. The country and it's beauty remain very fond in my memories and a great holiday destination, but sadly I don't think I could ever move back due to the economic and political instability.
