Oh yes it was easy living in the 70's with no technology, a fooked economy courtesy of Labour, no jobs on leaving Uni/School, having to squat as the paltry salary from the available job didn't stretch to rent, equipping the first home of my own with 2nd hand stuff or simply going without. Yes times back then were just gloriousOriginally posted by cosmic View Post
It's interesting to note that the millennials living near me all seem to get their boomer parents to do the jobs they can't, such as fixing stuff

Of variously sugar, bog roll, petrol, money, going cap in hand to the IMF to get a bail out.
Ah, them were the days.
3 channels on the idiot lantern. Come to think of it, this was good, since you read books instead.
The heady days of "One Out, All Out, Wot about the Workers?", the Three Day week, petrol rationing, power cuts, tv stopping broadcasting at 10pm, ah twas the very heaven.
And not forgetting the Morris Marina and, gawdelpus, the Austin Allegro.
