Summers were hot music quite funky Mini skirts short some legs quite chunky 🤣 Sometimes fashion did us no favours Mary Quant and twiggy all over the papers
When winter arrived Only one room had heat single glazed windows with chilblained feet Your bed was so cold it almost felt damp You’d wake up with a start your legs got cramp😩
Perms looked like tumbleweed on a windy day Green peace and protesters out to play The Beatles the Who and the Rolling Stones No Harry Potter or game of thrones
Times when you knew all the neighbours in your street All knowing your business - no secrets to keep We all thought It annoying - giving their advice Nosey old sods they should get a life!
Morris Marina, Cortina estate Girls names Brenda Shirley and Kate Sing something simple on a Sunday night Romance of the shipping forecast - hope they’re alright?
Shopping was rationed - Green Shield stamps Going for tea at yer nan and gramps Carefree days - The famous five These were the things that made us thrive
Yes it was hard we never knew any different Didn’t know the future so there was no equivalent It was a good time though in spite of some things ‘The good old days’ as yet another decade begins.....
