A Curly wurly was as long as your arm.
Blue nun and black tower were the height of sophistication.
Gary Glitter singing " do you wanna be in my gang" and thinking nothing untoward about it.

A family of 6 in a Morris Minor with the youngest on Mum's knee. No seatbelts or child seats and windscreens made from plate glass.
Drawing in the frost on the inside of the house windows.
Having central heating but couldn't afford to turn it on.
No such thing as double glazing.
Knowing everyone of your neighbours. Visiting them all without being told to and them being happy to see you.
Mum at home everyday.
One family car and you were posh.
Having respect for your elders.
Wondering what all the fuss was over that new BBC2 when all it showed was boring programs.
Party lines and asking the operator to connect you to a number.
The little white dot on the TV screen when you turned it off.
The National Anthem on close down on BBC but not on ITV.
Waiting for Watch with Mother to start and staring at the Test Card.
Being amazed that you could tape video just like audio.
Heavy footballs. Footballs with laces. Football boots with rounded toe caps. Coveting white Alan Ball boots with swivelling studs that snapped your ankle. Desperately wanting George Best boots with laces on the side.
Not buying a new carpet because the old one wasn't threadbare yet.
Wearing the clothes your brother had grown out of.

YES YES YES!!! Good shout - loved that game - the different coloured dice to use based on the team's rankings. Filling in the record charts - gave me OCD that did.
