    @canefan You must remember Ravishing Rick Rude catch phrase after his entrance. "Cut the music".

    I was always an Ultimate Warrior fan.

    Sadly no. I was also a warrior fan

    Poor old Warrior, pretty much no one had anything nice to say about him.

    Very difficult to work with and a prick supposedly.

    Rude on the other hand used to leave his wife at bars and beat the fuck out of any guy who hit on her. Classy fella !

    I have no idea who any of the wrestlers are other than Hulk Hogan.

    Could somebody tell me who Elizabeth is? I might have have been more into wrestling had I known.

    @bovidae Explains why you lot were all into "wrestling" as teenage boys...

    Looks like drug overdose at age 43? Not cool.

    3c rolls. I loved those KFC rolls. Dinner box and 3 of those rolls for $1.50. That would be me sorted.

    Shit, how cheap would fish and chips have been back then if those were KFC prices!

    @nepia I’m the early 70s we used to get a bag of chips every Monday night on the way home from judo. Our mat fee was 10c each and the chips were 6c.

    Chips must have followed quickly because my earliest KFC memories in the late 70s definitely involves fries

    We never had KFC as Dad didn't like it. I think I actually had it once and it was heaven! I knew it was going to be the last time as a family meal as Dad grumbled the whole way through. I vaguely remember lining up at the Ham East KFC and there was a long and orderly queue. Happy happy days.

    The Hutt was like greasy central back in the 70s. I remember my folks taking me to Maccas very early on. And my grandparents lived just down the road from KFC. They made me into the foodie I am today šŸ˜‹

    Haha. We used to do the Thrift BOx. Came through the hole in the wall sometime after the cashier asked for it through the microphone (in Kensington, Whangarei).
