"Probably 60s for free love and all that, but I reckon 50s for the clothes "
Loved the clothes in both era's, but definitely the free love in the 60's |

"I have lived in all those except the 40s and I wouldn't choose them. All that rationing and everything in black and white  "
I think that in the 40's it was the time when you had to live, as you didn't know if there was going to be a tomorrow, must of been a really tough situation to be in |

WW2 and rationing probably stifled a lot of those with hedonistic traits. Although the American GIs were able to fill their boots. |

"Hard - why?"
I spent the 90's having 3 babies, but they are now all grown up and make me feel so proud of them and I remember how much hard work it was |

90s
I think going into the past people in the 1920s were alot wilder than people on fab.
They were all hedonistic art deco types.
They make this websight look extreamly tame. |

WW2 ended in 1945 (I had to delete my post I put 1939  ). The first half would have been really tough.
I don't remember much about the 50s but the 60s were pretty good and for me the 70s even better. |

I went drinking with my 3 son's and I kept up with them, we talked a lot about life and how hard it is for them in this day and age, and you are doing a great job |

I am do think that the less you have the more thankful you are, and the 70's were definitely less is more |

But thru adversity there was a common enemy and in turn greater unity and stronger communities. |

And everything was so much more simple and easy, you just did thing's without thinking of the consequences |

That's what all the propaganda of the time would have you believe. |

Late 70s/early 80s purely so I could see all the bands that forged my musical tastes either again or because I missed them when it was happening as a result of being just the wrong side of being old enough to go to gigs |

I learned to jive with my mum and aunties, used to really surprise the older ladies when I was in my 20s and I'd jive with them in the Frontier Club in Batley. Good times |

That's why I couched it and said late 70s/early 80s - mid to late 80s were indeed the era that music forgot but early 80s more than made up for it |
