                  Wallpaper had massive patterns.

                  Toilet paper shortage.

                  Sugar shortage.

                  Oil shortage.

                  Electricity shortage.

                  Coal shortage.

                  TV finishing after the News at 10.

                  Edward fecking Heath as PM, followed by the longest sulk in human history.

                  Harold fecking Wilson as PM, followed by his attempt to be a tv pundit, brought to a jolting halt by his incipient brain problems.

                  Jim fecking "Lucky Jim" Callaghan as PM: "Crisis? Wot Crisis?".

                  Going to the IMF cap in hand for a loan.

                  The Barber Boom.

                  6% or £6 a week payrises, and that was if you were lucky.

                  Accelerating inflation, so any money you earned at the start of the decade was worth peanuts at the end.

                  Every fecker in the country on strike.

                  Piles of tulipe in the street.

                  Piles of dead bodies in the morgue coz the grave diggers & crem operators were all on fecking strike.

                  The Winter of Discontent.

                  Edward Fecking Heath.

                  Joining the fecking Common Market.

                  Edward Fecking Heath.

                  Voting to stay in the fecking Common Market (it seemed like A Good Idea at the time).

                  King fecking Arfur.

                  Edward fecking Heath.

                  Have I missed anything out?

                  Oh yes, Edward fecking Heath. And King fecking Arfur.

                  It was so jolly you really really had to be there to appreciate it.

                  Oh, and British fecking Leyland cars. built by the likes of Red fecking Robbo.
                  I take it you are not a fan of this period then?
