@@larryandpaulI don’t mind the satire. It’s good to laugh at ourselves. It wasn’t all bad in the 1970's. I was at secondary school and I had a good history teacher that said something profound that’s stuck in my mind for nearly 50 years now. The history teacher said, “Don’t see: Observe. Don’t hear: Listen. Don’t speak: Say. Use your minds and senses to critically analyse.” Then he spoke about not to blindly believe anything that the media disseminate into society. To think about what’s outside the frame of a photographic, TV or cinematographic film camera and to read between the lines of any news report. His words have served me well in life, when it comes to reading, hearing or viewing anything the media distribute into society.
@@larryandpaul I shared this brilliant news with my local MP and now my electric has been cut-off and the council refuse to collect my bins. Life just gets better and better.
My old man got pulled over for erratic driving in 1970. He'd been drinking all night. The policeman asked him to walk a few yards in a straight line. He couldn't explain how he managed it. The policeman : Thank you sir, have a safe drive home!
In the 70s my dad drove past a policeman in his vintage car chassis, which had no body and pretty much no brakes. He was hailed to stop, and finally managed to about 500 yards down the road. The bobby eventually caught him up and said in a low voice " I think you might want to get the brakes looked at, sir".

7 years too early for this technology. I think I got my Amstrad radio And tape recorder combined about 1973. Before that I had to sit in front of the stereo gram with a cassette player and microphone to record the top 20 (hoping no-one came in and interrupted).

@ChrisPage68 What's wrong with a spike in the steering wheel ? It makes crashes more interesting and real. It's just that these woke millennials and Gen Z crybabies want airbags as "protection" in case of crashes. They probably want the airbag to use the correct gender pronoun and expect to have seatbelts in their cars.
Great news for all born in the 60's who fondly remember that era. Only having to work 3 days a week, power cuts to cut down on greenhouse gases, town gas producing a warm haze in winter, having permanent tinatus from getting a clip round the ear from any adult, Thatcher was stealing our milk & of course politics was so much nicer apart from Jeremy Thorpe allegedly killing his lovers, Norman Scott's dog, leading to the best joke ever told in school by a teacher, "Jeremey Thorpe has written a book, Scott of the arse antics." Can't wa-, my inte ne is go-
You're correct and we had school dental inspections to boot. I know, I'm a retired dentist... I stopped and threw in the towel (as did most of my colleagues who could) when they changed the computer systems yet again. Stuff it, today pull out your own teeth. It's not worth the hassle anymore.

@waltersobchak1719HAHHAHAHA - its good if you own a house not - you get to be the elite.

That made me laugh so much. Thank you. But then I remembered the awful "hand-me-down" clothing from that era. Going to school years later dressed like a psychedelic Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen was no fun. On the plus side, platform shoes gave a good kick to the shins when someone took the piss.
@paulnewman2000 I know. As a teenager I had parties where the Watneys flowed liberally. Or rather Grotneys as it wasn't affectionately known. Usually followed by a trip to the bathroom and a certain amount of puking. Or was that because of the Smirnoff ? I forget.
Finally! I knew this was coming so I've already got plans to build a chain of new workhouses on the vacant lots where the vacant lot buy their laptops and plastic prams. House of Lords,here I come!
Ah, the 70s. As a woman I won't be allowed in the saloon bar and I won't be able to have a pint. I will be allowed half a pint, but only in a stemmed glass. Women and girls of any age will be fair game. They are all birds after all.
When exactly was our country ever a Fascist hell hole? How can we 'go back' to something we never were in the first place? We need to go the exact opposite direction to where Reform and the Tories want to take us to save our country from disaster.

If you go back to 1970 surely dental appointments _would_ be available and treatment would be free.
