1974 was the hot one, my first holiday biggrin

we went camping in Tenby and it was great, also my first trip out in a charter boat, caughts loads of mackeral and spent the rest of the day flogging them round the campsite.
Thet summer went on and on, maybe next year will be as good .......................
Then the music :karaoke: at the time everything was new, we had punk rock, new wave and the modern romantic types lol

summer of 1976, ladybird invasion, standyby taps in road.
14 years old and i knew everything. Lived for the Bay City Rollers and David Essex. Bopped to Elton John and Kiki Dee. Did slow gropes listening to Chicago {If you leave me now}
I was definately a seventies child. Probably still stuck in that time warp. Love my platform shoes and maxi dresses smile

27 Jul 2007

The seventies for me was all about experimenting. Sex, drugs and rock n roll as they say. But in a way it was all good and the older I get the better stuff looks. I still want an Evil Kneival stunt cycle!
As for the weather ....ok '76' was hot and we were unprepared. But jeez Last year '06' knocked it into bloody hell n back!
Wonder how my kids will look back and think of the 0's?

I've wracked my brains on what I remember about the seventies and ..........basicaly sod all sad

I was a dull going to school, doing my homework sort of nerd. I have grown up now and I am a dull going to work sort of nerd.
I do remember seeing a punk with a stuffed rat sown on to his jacket. I thought he looked cool. But I suspect he thought I looked like the spotty oik I was.

27 Jul 2007

Erm......I was born in '75 and besides an operation when I was 3 I remember nothing of the seventies whatsoever :shock: ......the 80's however.....:giggle:

27 Jul 2007

i was born 72 so dont really remember that much about the 70s to be honest but one thing that does stand out in my mind was the street party we had for the queens silver jubilee in 77, i got a egg cup with the queens face on it which i proudly displayed on the kitchen slelf for years lol

I was born a few years too late, I love the 70s, some great music, and great TV, such as:

27 Jul 2007

I remember being frightened to death that the Yorkshire Ripper was going to get us!
And - being told at school that a nuclear war was very likely.
I also remember the Headmaster at school holding a whole assembley on Pink Floyd's The Wall and saying what a terrible load of rubbish it was - most of us had never heard of it but promptly went out and bought it lol

27 Jul 2007

strikes
power cuts
you would just sit down for tea and bang a power cut , no lights or tv, No binmen (on strike )
(just like our great Postmen now )
Then out of the dark came the voice of Johnny Rotten get up of your arse
a whole great movement was started PUNK.
