Talking of shoes & clothes, I used to wear Clarks Polyveldt, and Country Cousins jeans.
anyone remember the "tomorrow people", with their jaunt belts and all?

maybe not the 70s in in the 60s it was something of a fashion statement to sport a sheath knife and the bigger the better, I remember people saying ''feel the edge on that'' as they invited you to check out the sharpness of the blade and playing 'split the kipper' was a sport that often ended in blood being spilt. 
them was the good old days.

But crafty me old mucker, look what paucity you've had to grow up with, I mean the 70's were great, terrible fashion, punk rock, glam rock, mods, winter of discontent, nightly power cuts, diptheria, bubonic plague (ok, I made the last two up)
Even the 80's were great, big hair, new romantics, Margaret Thatcher selling off the entire country, poll tax riots, padded shoulders, power suits, mobile phones the size of a brick, me reaching drinking age and being sick on 3 pints of cider, heady stuff.
Let's face it the 90's were a bit rubbish, and the naughties haven't been great either (apart from my kids of couse, oh and I suppose I have to include getting married in 1994
) BUT, apart from that what have the 90's or naughties ever done for us ?Oh and the cars, NCAP !!! Air bags !! Air bags .... ABS ...... bl**dy luxury
:!
Just making off the top of my head, all the things my first car didn't have :-
A radio
A clock
A fag lighter
Fifth gear
A rev counter
Electric windows
Central Locking
Power steering
ABS
Air bags
Air con (or indeed any efficient heating either)
Heated rear window
Rear window wiper
Fuel injection, just that maddening automatic choke with a VV carb, arrgh!
Any upholstry on the door panels
Effective brakes
But none of this really mattered, 'cos before you could really complain about these things, the car would have dissolved into a pile of rust anyway. Happy daze.

Being dragged to sunday school, sneaking some "Space Dust" in your pocket, eating it when its all quiet, and then looking forward to the hammering of your life after. Building bonfires in September, long hot summers school holidays, "Lotus" skateboards with "Cryptonics" wheels, boy they were fast, many a time ran over my own Knuckles. Space hoppers, loved them. Does anyone remember the game "Byoing" or something like that, Like a plastic shaped orange rugby ball, which was on two long strings, with handles either end. You had to open the one end up fast and the other person kept theirs closed, used to kill your hands if playing with an over exuberant adult!
