Readers Respond: What is something from the past that you wish would be brought back?

We all do it. Sit there and reminisce about the good ol’ days. 

Life was good back then…it still is now but we can all admit there are some things we wish would have stayed the same.

We asked our readers to share something from the past that they wish would be brought back and it appears that most of you agreed on a common answer: respect.

Check out some of your other responses below. 

Kathryn Potter - Manners, respect, common sense and dignity but also I would love the simpler times back too!

Raelene Oliver - Respect, honesty and caring for each other.

Suzanne Stovel - No welfare. People actually having to work, to have money. Qualified tradespeople. Less dependence on technology.

Carol Edmonds - SPs made by Peters ice cream, strawberry and pineapple ice cream covered in chocolate. 

Dawn Dominick - The city of old...was always a treat to go to the city in the 60s.

Valerie Keily - Decent radio stations and local TV stations have more local shows and also variety shows.

Adrian Whiley - Everything. Life was so much simpler back then. Also manners and respect. Since social media people have forgotten how to talk to each other. It's all done by texting.

Lois Sullivan - Close all shops by 12 noon on Saturday, open 9am Monday. All workers need time out also. Worked very well for us as kids.

Marion Bradley - Good old fashioned cooking. (Less processed) Parental control over your child. Respect, responsibility for your actions. Manners.

Yvonne Dyer - Simple ways of living. Far too many choices with everything.
