I had to look up Suriname and hadn't realised where it was. What a colourful young life you had, Stan!

Going from the 60's into the 70's sees a clear progression in things going down hill imho..

I suppose being a young un in the 70's i remember a few good things.
Hot weather aswell as Big Snow falls
My dads Ford Mk.I Capri '3000E'
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
1977 Jublee street Party
Gerry Andersons UFO & later Space 1999
Life without a computer & a mobile Phone
Proper Telephone {Still have my original GPO '706}
The odd one is my parents were a lot younger & different to what they are now, a difference i don't like these days.

Random memories of my 1970s:
Comet, when it was a proper warehouse store with flattened cardboard boxes strewn around
Pine louvered 'saloon-style' doors!!
Orange and brown sofas
Prawn cocktail - yeuch!
Cars with rusty holes in their bodywork
Green Shield stamps
Adverts for chewy Texan bar - The Mighty Chew! ("Sheriff, Black Dan's escaped and he's coming this way!" & "Bite through the chocolate and chew.......real......sloooooow")
Long thin scabs all the way down your lower leg from running through brambles
Two and a half pence for a bag of crisps
Half pence pieces!

I don't understand this love of nostalgia and certainly wouldn't want to return to the 70's!
