Fond memories of the 70s
Jump to: Newest in thread
I'm waaaaayyyyyy to young to remember.
But if I was of that age probably some of the following.
The Muppet show on Sunday night.
Flares, platform shoes and cheesecloth shirt's, spud gun's, playing conkers,kiss/knicker chase.
The first star wars, the Rubik's cube,the slinky, jumper's for goalposts.
Plague of ladybirds, the goodies, ABBA and Meccano set's.
Wind up Evel Knievel and the real one.
But like I said I am too young to remember any of these , just guessing

"All that brown orange and yellow
And that was just the wallpaper 
... and the carpets and the sofas and the kitchenware and the clothing and the cars...."
All blending together in a sort of camouflage collage |

"Oh and not forgetting
The bay city rollers,I loved my jeans with the tartan down the sides"
But whose tartan did you wear?? Each Roller had their own.
My sister had the white tartan worn by Les McKeown.
Oh god, i can still remember some of the chants the fans used to sing. |

Wherever I lay my hat |
Playing in the road
Getting a colour television to watch all 3 channels on
No seat belts in cars so lying on that back shelf (senior moment... Don't know what it's called) all the way from Grimsby to the Costa Blanca every summer eating Spangles
Nicking my Grandads Woodbines |

"Bod.
Ha ha - I remember Bod (and it’s merry, flute ditty soundtrack!)
I believe to this day that Bod was in fact one of the aliens who crashed at Roswell…"
I think it was originally a Belgian cartoon or something |

And Mervyn Day and Frank Lampard. We only had a b/w tele so watched it round next door on a 26” screen.
Alf G****t inspired me to become a fan. Geez life was easy back then. |

Somewhere in Co. Down |
Summers that seemed to last forever.
Getting loads of sweets and crisps with 10p in the shop.
Waiting to watch the Muppets on telly.
Learning to ride a bike and the first time I took stabilisers off and didn't fall off felt amazing. Until I forgot to pull the brakes and ended up hitting a tree |

"No chopper for me 
I had a grifter.
I had the baby Grifter. The Striker."
Strikers were fantastic, a good forerunner to BMX's. Mine was silver and I was rarely off it. Handlebar stem knackered after one too many bad landings from jumping of ramps. Had to fit cowhorns then! |

They were tough little bikes.
Mine was a funny green colour.
And i seem to remember pedalling backwards acted as a brake.
Ha ha, cowhorns..another VERY 70's thing. |
