Take me back to the 70,s

[Whitespirit66]

The 70s was a great time to be a kid, but probably a bit scarey for the adults (strikes, energy problems, mega tax, nackered economy, inflation, power cuts, IMF, etc).

Aren't we going back to the 70s anyhow. Shaky economy, inflation rising, incompetent Labour government, weak Pound, manufacturing dying (not because of strikes now)........ and Brucie is still on the box on a Saturday night!

"You crack me up!"
"This is rubbish!"


Just no educating some kids!


Her saving grace is she likes David Essex singing Myfanwy at the Palladium.

I was on holiday in Newquay just in time for the radio 1 roadshow with Noel Edmunds.

Fantastic summer.

I feel sorry for kids growing up today. I used to live on me pushbike and would be out all day. Kids today panic when they are more than a visit to the fridge away from the t.v.

My bro' and i walked to school (junior) and back in the '70s, how weird is that. Without mum!

Did that in the 60's when I was at infants, from about 6 though, not when I first started.

same conny used to get thruppence for the bus fare but used to spend it on sweets and walked.

 

[conny]

Got thruppence pocket money every Sunday afternnon.
Saved mine once till the Monday and went shopping with my mum. I was standing outside the shop with my thrupeeny joey in my mouth, mum comes out and slaps me round the back of the head telling me not to put money in my mouth.
Result?

I swallowed it!

Marched straight round to quacks who said I should sit on a bucket when I needed to go the toilet till it came out!

It never did.
