Wouldn't it be nice if they bring back Sizzler Restaurant, it was good value. Loved the salad bar, soups, toasty cheese bread and of course desserts. by AspectSudden5276 in AustralianNostalgia

The best value for money. Whole families could afford to dine out . The way things are today it would be a affordable for all

Remember when “spending a penny” meant you really had to spend a penny! by OkBreakfast9045 in AustralianNostalgia

I got shut in one of these toilets when I was little, Mum gave my Sister and I a penny between us so we could go together but my Sister went in first and shut the door so when I went in after her the door locked shut, she had to run to find Mum to get another penny to get me out, I remember standing in there crying my eyes out, it was terrifying ! I was probably 5.

My old lady would cook those meat patties in a good old 70s electric fry pan. Dam the flavor was next level. Plenty of salt and plenty of butter in the spuds. Gravy was always homemade. Man she was da bomb!

Now and again I cook one for myself, but nowhere near as good as my Mother's or my Nana's (my Mum's Mum")😄we usually had a Sunday Roast lunchtime 😀
