choogling Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 The recent spell of nice weather brought back memories of the great summer of 76,after a poor spring the weather changed and we had about two months of well above normal temperatures. The result of a high pressure zone that parked up over the British isles and was held in place by atmospheric conditions,we sweltered at work and the novelty soon wore off, in the end we were all glad when it started raining. Apart from 2006 cant remember a summer any thing like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_B_1983 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I remember buying a elvis record in cex in town in the great summer of 76, I still have it! Was it Elvis Presley or Elvis Costello? I was stationed in Aldershot that year, and did my parachute training that summer. The weather was perfect for it, and dead clear. We averaged 6 drops a day, before going to Jack Fulton's to bulk buy choc ices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeko1 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Ladybower with hardly any water in it.Did my o levels the year after in 1977 and my recollection was that that was also a bit of a scorcher although didn't last as long.Absolutely agree re '76 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
