if you could choose to live your adult life in any decade, which would it be??
The roaring 20's with its flapper girls and prohibition :shock: all those speak easys and gangsters & molls and the charleston.
or maybe the 40's with the GI's and wartime rationing, and Dame Vera crooning her ballads.
or the rock n roll 50's with the cool music, quiffs and beetle crushers and starched petticoats and winklepickers, and women keeping a beautiful home for their man.
Or what about the hippy drug fuelled 60's with its free loving and flower power, vietnam war and the first man on the moon.
Or maybe the glam 70's with platforms and flares and Donny Osmond and David cassidy heart throbs? A time when you could play all your records and still get a record player.
Or did ya fancy being a YUPPIE in the materialistic 80's with the advance of technology and the invention of the mass produced mobile phone, a decade of excesse, Frankie goes to Hollywood, wham and lycra leggings.
or are ya happy with now.......dvd players, tiny mobile phones and ipods, sushi bars,trinny and susannah and size zero supermodels?
when was your favourite??
I think I'd be happy with any of them..
60's 70's 80's even the 40's had its charm....
But I'm also happy with technology and medicine we have today... without it I wouldn't be here lol.

Oooooooh, great thread Mrs B!!
Tricky one though...
I adore the 1920s for the fashion and the flappers and the jazz and yes that'd be fab!
But, I would also have loved to have been an adult during the 1970s but only if I could've lived in New York City and gone to places like The Loft and Studio 54 and seen Tom Moulton, Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles, David Mancuso etc dj-ing in their prime!!
Alas I was born at the wrong end of that decade and a few thousand miles to the east!!!
I guess I'm just a wannabe disco diva!!

I'd have the 50s for the purity of the music, to see the birth of rock and roll would be amazing.
I'd also have the 60s and 70s so I could see the likes of Rod Stewart, Mott the Hopple and Rolling Stones at the Roundhouse and Marque. Plus of course seeing The Beatles in The Cavern.

I would have to say the 80s for me..
It was really the start of the modern era. When technology really started to work for the common person..
Maybe I am just a nerd though .. lol
30's or the 40's I reckon..
Men were very smart when in their best bib and tucker and women were very elegant in their long flowing ornate dresses...

*not that women cant be elegant now you understand*
The 80's was my era and I would not have it any other way. Great music and the era of the feel good factor as Mrs T brought us in to a modern age.
Three summers in Corfu, outrageous hedonism learning to be naked and happy with life.
Of yes - the 80's was my era, no doubt about it.
Ours was from the mid 70's to the mid 80's
a bit of both decades.
We used to indecisive but were not so sure now !

I wish I was around in the early 70's or the late 19th Century, but thats for another time
