Birty Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Very very mini skirts and high white boots. You must be my age! I always wanted white knee high boots but my legs were so skinny I couldn't wear them! I still like them to this day. You also mentioned in another post the 2p - 5p bus fares which I remember - the videmat machine on the buses which the old ladies used to ask for their fare! They were always going wrong. I also remember the Bucaneer closing down, I wrote a little poem about it and got it printed in the Star, the best thing was I was only 17 and so frightened of getting "done" for under age drinking and my dad finding out"! They were much better days than today, I never felt under pressure at work like everyone seems to be today and things in general seemed so much better. ahhh lets go back and do it all again.

Birty Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Youth Dew!!! forgot the Youth Dew!! Everyone had to have it. Wow it was so sweet smelling. Do they still do it? I remember wearing Hot Pants with 2 pairs of tights on so my legs didn't feel the cold! AND the Afghan coat, god it smelt awful but had to have one. Sweet sweet memories!!

yorkiepudd Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The Fiesta club - with the 4 Tops, The Grumbleweeds, The Four Seasons and all the other regular acts (late 70's for me then, of course). Someone mentioned the ABC cinema - anyone used to go to the Saturday Morning matinee club - and used to sing that stupid song.... "We all clap and have our sing, song such a happy crowd are we... We're all pals together we're minors of the A..B..C.." Sad, I can remember that (well, some of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
