Posted: 7/6/2009 10:58:00 AM | I loved my cream Kharman Ghia baggies and my wooden platform clogs, they didn't make me tall just AS tall as the girls who didn't have them  What a disappointment when I took them off and reverted to being vertically challenged, fekk they made my legs look long though 
I loved the 70's, well once I'd left school I did and started on my misspent youth (or do I mean life?)

The dustman strike and piles of rubbish seemed to every where, the 3 day week. getting a my first proper wage packet and more than half went to house keeping. My first car, sorry did I say car I meant Sunbeam Rapier rust bucket £ 220 and the first bump I went over at speed and the rear shocks went straight through the rear arches top plates. Oxford bags with triple button waist band, stack sole and heel shoes, shirt collars like aircraft wings, long hair with centre parting as opposed to now short hair with a very wide centre parting! The long lane academy for young gentleman and budding phycopaths, inter school fights, the local carnival and the firms float in the parade, being threatened with explusion due to over use of water and flour bombs on the opposition floats, ah happy days. | |

Posted: 7/7/2009 12:49:25 AM | I remember Tonic suits , Crombies, Ben Sherman shirts, Two tone trousers. Right at the beginning of 70's.
Judge Dread, Bay city Rollers when tartan became cool. The Sweet.
Has anyone watched the American programme, That 70's show. Does it remind you of yourself. Sitting with your mates in the garage. In my case the shed drinking barley wine and planning your night out at the youth club disco. Sneaking into the pub and drinking vodka and lime.
Feather hair cut thinking you looked like Suzi Quatro. Your mother showing your picture to the children. You want to die. They think you look cool and you go up in the street cred.
I am going to hunt on here now for a tonic suit. | |
