Been watching classic and new episodes of Neighbours ,struck by how gentrified Ramsey Street has become since the 80s,now we have lawyers, doctors [two], headteachers [two] living there, where are the mechanics,plumbers,ground workers? Shows high cost of living in Erinsborough?

Another observation on classic vs new Neighbours, no more secretaries! Helen predicts to Madge [who was her secretary at one time for Home James!] that a computer might one day take her job, even Paul Robinson does his own admin these days!

Seems people aged faster back in the day on Ramsey St, another classic episode of Neighbours with Jim advising Helen on her love triangle [she's in love with her daughter's fiance] & comforting Lucy over her drowned dog Basil, how is he only aged 40?!Looks at least 50!

I worked in a factory for 12 years I clocked in & when I clocked out there was such a sense of freedom knowing work has done, Fridays were brilliant. Since working in Higher Education I have never felt that freedom on leaving work. Because you never leave work.
