Apparently we were invaded by ladybirds that year. Too young to remember, was only three.

In my experience, more than two Speccy Brew will give you that automatic feeling that your wife is taking the piss out of you. Top it up to three, and she's sneering at you. You know, the way she does.
After the forth can,you don't give a **** anymore,and just sit there agreeing with her,and giggling uncontrollably like an unmedicated psychopath.
Somewhere around this point,she storms off in a huff,packs a case,and ****s off to her mother's.
They were everywhere. 17 people were eaten by ladybirds that summer.

I remember them covering cars. Yellow ones in particular. This is when cars were made in proper primary colours and yellow ones were fairly common.

That is a great car, why is it appearing on Australia's channel 9 though?
Remember the water tanks in the street and not being allowed to fill up the paddling pool.

People are dying, yes it's a great laugh.
People keep dying in the UK because of the weather. It appreaches 30 and people die, and yet here in Cyprus it's always over 30 for at least two months and sometimes approaches 40 and people don't die of it, even poor people in the villages with no aircon.
It drops to a few degrees below zero and "thousands of pensioners" die of cold, and yet in Moscow, it stays below zero for at least three months on the tror every year and people don't.
A few years ago I travelled from Heathrow to Prague via Rome. There was a bit of snow in the UK so Heathrow was shut for days, in Prague the snow was heavy, and as it normally does, settled for months, there was an inquiry because the airport was shut for an hour.
WHen did Britain become such a wussy country?

Insulation keeps heat out as well as in. You can, for example, keep hot coffee, or cold ice cream equally well in a thermos flask. My house here in Cyprus has single concrete walls. As a result, the house is boiling hot in summer and freezing cold in winter, the house would be cooler in summer if it WAS insulated. As for aircon, lots of houses here don't have it, I have it but rarely use it because of the huge electricity prices here. People go out and buy things called FANS. I believe they are available in the UK.

I remember, we were, they bit as well, because there were so many of them they needed the salt. I remember there being advice not to wear red or yellow clothes because they were attracted to those colours. The beach huts used all have different coloured doors back then and I can remember walking along the sea front in hove and all the red and yellow ones were covered in ladybirds and the others were fairly free of them.

Perhaps Australia's Channel 9 were doing a feature on ladybird invasion in the UK in 1976 and were showing a yellow Austin Allegro as that car won a poll of ladybirds for - 'the car they'd most like to settle on'
