Tongue and tassle loafers?

Satin 'kerchief in breast pocket of jacket?

Flourescent socks?

Constant "Lazy Lob" ? (couldn't get off the bus at the right stop)

Me ..

I got my first real six string
Bought at the 5 and dime
played till my fingers bled
that was the summer of '69

Well ?? not really - last year of primary school ........

An impressionable youngster - who thought the world was going to be a magic place .......

Man had just stepped on to the surface of the moon ...
Concorde was about to start commercial flights ..
The QE2 was the greatest ship affloat...and was sailing past my front window..
SSEB was telling us that nuclear power was going to be so cheap and plentiful , that it would not be cost effective to bill us for it !!!...
Hovercraft were starting to ferry us around the Firth of Clyde...
My dad bought his first car ....... a Moggy Minor Traveller..

And then ............... the Arabs decided to flex their muscles and OPEC increased the price of oil ...... and it all went tits-up ......... I got hormones and spots ....... got a job as a butchers boy..... and Donny Osmond was about to infict untold pain to our eardrums !!

but nice while it lasted .....................
