Shame on you Graham! How could you vote for that plonked? Just
wait and see what a mess him and his deranged mate George make
of things. One Tory seat in the whole of Scotland. We are not
convinced by mr smoothy up north.

Yes Grumph, you're right. It was 74 when we had the Lib/Lab pact, and it was 76 when the IMF was called in.

It' like a real life version of Life on Mars. Will orange flares be back in fashion soon I wonder...

Yachts still have to carry them, I believe, but with VHF being more common, channel 16 is more popular, as are mobile phones...

I was only 7 going on 8 during the 3 day week, so have only vague memories of it. Orange flares (the real ones in this context) have stuck in the mind more!

Orange flares? Possibly, it was the height of Glam Rock and David Bowie
ruled. I seem to recall having shoes with three inch platform soles, and five
inch heels, suited me to a T, for a while there I got to be as tall as everyone
else, until they caught on of course..

74 was a blinding year for music, parties and a great time to be young with
a bit of disposable income, no-one cared about politics, any more then than
most folk do now, but then we didn't have a badly educated media industry
controlled by irresponsible money men with all sorts of agendas.

'74 was a blinding year full stop (IMHO of course).....(1974 that is not 1874)

Watch as the progressive "One nation" tories, the neo-cons and the old-school hardline tories proceed to rip into each other, all blaming Cameron for failing them
