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??
oohh voddy i love the 70's but am also stuck on 80's too
decisions decisions lol
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!!

simply because I love that era, even though there were wars there was a simplistic view on life and a total family feeling. Plus people appreciated the little things in life and knew how to enjoy themselves..

This has to be my favourite because I was THE 80's chick... my typical rig out was the "Desperately seeking Susan" look, loads of lace and layers. Wham, flourescent socks (one orange one pink), plastic handbags, jelly shoes, "rat's tail" hair, batwing home knit jumpers (tea bag - non sexual! wink ), pixie boots...
God damn it Boney... you've only gone and done it again! you've cheered me up no end! lol
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.

:lol: Haha nope only wore those when I was prancing around pretending to be on Fame!.... my daughter strutted out of the house the other day with a pink pair on! :shock:
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
the 60's
Lots of sex and drugs and good music redface
and when a fight was 1 on 1 and just fists and feets where used biggrin
shorttttttt skirts and cool movies :shock:
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...
Disclaimer
*not that women cant be elegant now you understand*
My teenage years were spent in the 70's and I loved every minute of it! Afghan Coats,maxi skirts and floppy felt hats, Platform Boots, the music everything about it was fantastic. Except for maybe the 3 day week and no electric. Send me back now!!! lol
i would have loved to be around in the 60s but the 80s were good imo i was brought up on 80's music yes its crap but i like it wink
the 80s was the decade everything forgot, fashion, music, you name it they didnt have it lol
For me would have to be the 70s i think, black men with big afros lol

We must have been twins Mar :shock: :lol2:
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.

The 70's.
That's the 1770's - complete with debauched European tours
The 1870's - Indulging in the delights of Victorian society
And of course, the 1970's...Fond, fond memories. cool

oh god yes!... if I had a chance to go back in time it would be to this decade or actually before the 17oo's... yes I know about the squalour etc., but just for a day I'd like to see what it was all about.
