You punks are all spoiled. In our day we bartered. Rent was 4 chickens a month and probably 80 hours of back breaking labour.

We shot our own food with catapults and bathed in the icy cold river.

If we wanted to take a dump, we had to dig a hole 6 feet deep first, then we'd do our thing, and then fill in the hole.

But entertainment was cheap, a lady of the evening was a quid for the whole night, bath included, and a shot of whiskey was a penny.

Your daughters virtue was your retirement savings plan, and your sons back was worth a wagon, horses extra.
