It was always summer. The large brown tv with curved screen had the cricket on – Dennis Lillee and Colin Cowdrey sweltering at the Oval. The blue budgie cheaped in its cage on a stand above us all.

Underpants (hygiene & usage) - aka - Budgie smugglers / Knickers / Underdaks / Jocks / Undies - that is!
