I had just had my apendix removed, so I spent most of the school holidays indoors doing jigsaws. To this day, if I see a picture of Tutenkhamun's death mask, or Anne Hathaway's cottage, I get twitchy. |

I was 16 and had just sat my 'o levels'. I ended up in hospital for a few weeks after an accident which changed the course of my life career wise as I didnt really go back to school afterwards.
I was also in love that summer.... my first love ??? |

inflatable lilos, beach balls and mr whippy ice cream cones as big as your head 
And.... The bay city rollers

The summer of 1977 was awsome for me however I remember the 16th of August and the day we went back to high school as that was the day Elvis Pressley died and I remember my mum howling like a baby as she was a huge Elvis fan. |

That's not so good... I remember my biology O level was the day after the Scotland France game - the pubs were open to three in the morning and everyone was out having a grand time... I was revising and didn't dare... I did get an A pass on my O level though lol |

I bought my first motorbike in 1976. It was a BSA Bantam that was so bad I traded it back in to the dealer 6 weeks later for something a bit faster.
I used to ride around just to try and cool off with jeans and a tee shirt. Nowadays I value my skin a bit more so always out in my leathers. |
