1970's mood

This has triggered so many memories but I know I missed a lot of 'what's happening man?' I left school in 1964 and had a couple of years of mini skirts and kitten heels before getting married in 1966. My husband was in the Army, stationed in Germany, and the whole flower power thing just seemed to miss us over there. No waccy baccy of course on camp, or carnations stuffed down rifle barrels! Most of our socialising was with fellow squaddies and their wives, as the trendy places in town were 'off limits' to the rank and file.

We came back to uk in 1969 and our son was born here that year but then we were off back to Germany in 1971. I had no idea of the extent of 'the revolution' as it seemed to be downplayed in the newspapers - maybe they didn't want to 'frighten the horses'

Tony Blackburn's dog was called Arthur. Woof woof!

Oh I am all nostalgic now. I still wear a necklace which is long, so goes twice around my neck if you know what I mean? It is made up of tiny bells( Like the ones we had on skipping ropes only smaller), and they are strung on amber. Well plastic really as the thing only cost me a pound from PDSA charity shop I love it though, and yes the bells do tinkle

Mathew ans Son?

I was getting ready for work when Radio One started, with Tony Blackburn (and his dog?)

Is there a prize?

What about the third one?

But no one seems to remember the second record played. Massachusetts.

Flowers in the Rain!

Wobbly bits. We too got married in 1967. On 30th Sep, which, as we all know, was the day that Radio 1 started.

Same here JTP, met my wife in '63, married in '67, first pregnancy in '74 but our first baby in'76, then I was critically ill in '79. So the 60's > 70's were pretty eventful for us. Loved the late 60's

60's was my time and 1967 was my favourite year! Last half of 70's was a blur of babies, nappies and broken nights ?

Loved the 70's, the music, the flares, everything in the best possible taste. Keep chillin' Wobbly.

70s favourite decade...met my lovely hubby in 76 ..married in November 1979 just as decade ended.....on 5th decade together now

1970 - my first baby was born. When I look at old photos I'm shocked by how short my maternity dresses were.

You've never upset or shocked me Wobbly, just made me smile.

Worried about the Marmite situation. Don't like Vegemite.

Can't remember...

Good year then 1967

Yes - it was in the Magical Mystery Tour film.

That's when the Beatles recorded 'All you need is love'

(it is, isn't it?)

Why "1967 !!" ??

1967!!

[Wobbly] ?

Here's a tune especially for you in your happy state!

I'm not surprised!

Just think, Bob Dylan has won the Nobel Prize for Literature - and Will Gompertz compared him to Shakespeare!!

Lovely, thoughtful lyrics but not Shakespeare
And a terrible voice to go with it
'One More Cup of Coffee' is hardly Hamlet .....

I did make a suggestion to MRs P regarding the Marmite, but she wasn't keen

My flower power days were in the late 60s. ✌️️???☺️?
