thank you Dearie :P :D

 

I managed to catch some of it - brought back loads more memories :D Vesta curries :puke2:

'foreign' :P holidays - amongst others, we went on package tour to the West Indies courtesy of Freddie Laker (RIP) - the airline went into liquidation whilst we were in mid-flight to our destination. We landed in Ganda to refuel and the captain was told to turn around bring us all back home, but because the longhaul crew enjoyed a weeks break themselves at these destinations he wasn't having any of it and he carried on to St. Lucia :cheer: - well he knew they were all out of a job anyway ;) We didn't know any of this at the time though, but when we arrived they told us what had happened and said they didn't know how or when they were going to get us home, in the end we were 'rescued' by another company - I don't think we wanted to be though :( I would have been happy to stay there forever doing the 'Bump' to 'Rock the Boat' :P :D

 

Loads of good memories flood back, but much as I was proud of my flares, platforms, hotpants etc... - I'm not proud of being part of the origins of 'consumerism and a throw-away' society' though :(

I remember in 1973 someone brought into school a radio cassette recorder .

 

think bbc 4 have been doing a whole season on 1973 at the moment, havent seen any of the shows but should be alright as those timeshift shows of old clips are normally quite interesting to look at
