THE 1970s

Bird nesting
Collecting bees and wasps
Dick turpin on the telly
Harrington jackets
Flares
Pods
Making fires all of the time
Finding porn in bushes
Top trumps
Apple raiding
Stealing milk from doorsteps when camping out
Having mass running battles (well more running than battles) with the next estate or school
 


Monty Python, L plated 250's, drinking yourself into oblivion and then getting up the next morning and feeling fine, Easter in Keswick drinking yourself into etc. "Borrowing" cars from newcastle city centre to get home because taxi's refused to go to Sunderland with pissed up lads onboard, "borrowing" a car bedecked in black and white flags, scarfs and rosettes on Friday night 3/5/74 from newcastle city centre and parking it up in Town End Farm with the doors wide open :lol:, standing on the terraces, Double Maxim 13p a bottle.
 
That glorious time of guilt-free sex between the invention of the pill and the AIDS nightmare.
I was 20 in 1970 and the world was my oyster.

An oft forgotten point.

Post pill - pre aids - just over 20 years of sexual liberation.

And believe me , it wasn’t just the blokes...........
Finding porn in bushes

Finding bushes in porn.

The 70s for me as a kid:
Sparks
Platform shoes
Oxford bags
Hating the Osmonds
Not getting a star jumper because Mam said they were common. 😀
Jeans with plaited detail on the bum
Decor - either brown, green or hideous patterns.
Dad smoking cigars
Baseball boots
Trying to avoid the shower after games
Getting my first bra
Smiths Bovril crisps!!
Oh and proof of crap decor:
