Great points, some things are much better, but looking at the whole picture, no way is it better today. When I left school and up to 20 years old on a modest wage I could; Go to the pub Thursday to Sunday. Go to a club Friday and Saturday. Run a crappy ford fiesta, tax, insure and put petrol in...

I think you have to look at it that we were kids in the 70's and we did not know any better, the kids today are living in the now and they also know no better either, they in the future will say that the 2010's were a great time. So I have thought long and hard about it and in conclusion, taking...

I look back on the 70's with much fondness, it was a great time to be a kid. I was lucky because I was born in 1962, so by the time 1970 came along I was old enough to buy and smoke cigarettes. So I could do all the things a kid could do in the 70's and look cool doing it. Embassy No1 was my fag...

No I am from Tunbridge Wells, Sharon spent a summer there years ago, I was about 15 and I met her and we got together. She returned to Saltdean and I went to see her at weekends for a while. As you know she went to Tideway. Not sure but she was not much older than me, maybe 1 year so she would...

She returned to Saltdean...

I know this is a strange thing to ask and a very long shot but it is something I have been meaning to ask on here for a long time and since you and others went to Tideway at about the right time.... Did you know or do you remember a girl called Sharon DeVasconcelos. Dark haired girl lived in...

I was 8 to 18 in the 70,s so can clearly remember the majority of all the stuff in this thread. There was some difficult times but i have very fond memories of the decade and feel quite lucky that i had almost all my best years in it.

Oh well done, yes they were called More. Woolworths seemed to do very well with trainer sales, we had no money but I had Dunlop Green Flash. But all my fishing tackle came from Woolworths, using flour, water and custard powder as bait. Regarding sweets anyone remember Jamboree Bags. And, yes...

Ouzo? Can you remember if it tasted of aniseed?

Saturday afternoon looking through the window of Visionhire at 3:45 to see how Brighton were doing at half time then making sure you got home in time to see the results on the Grandstand vidiprinter?

Making your own go kart. Pram wheels, bits of wood and a bolt in the front axle to steer with a length of rope. Take it down the woods for weeks of summer fun. Oh and the menthol fags were Consulate. Can't remember the name of the long thin ones though.
