    So refreshing to read positive comments on the 70's. I am always saying the 70's were the best decade. Life was fun and so much simpler. Nothing works today, then you could ring a company and speak to someone, these days it is usually a robot or you have to wait 45 mins then get cut off, or do these silly caption things before someone will speak to you. As someone else put it the country today is finished shame. Bring back the 70's oh I wish we could. Music was the best, loved the flared jeans not like some today that are like leggings. I could go on.

    Despite all the Tory media propaganda regarding the 1970s those that lived it knows what a great time it was for most people..I left school without qualifications and you could walk in to a different job every week. Jobs could be had with the railways, the police, the fire brigade, the Post office, loads of decent unionised public sector jobs. I had my own Victorian conversion council flat in the middle of Islington (for £22 per week) at 19 years of age having just got married. Most of my mates were married by their early 20s and none thought they might not get their own place and afford a family. I had a great car and was in the pub at least 3 nights a week and never worked more than 40 hours.

    I started work in 1974 and got married in 1979 (aged 21). The majority of people were happy with their lot and whilst there were those that made a lot more money than others, communities still looked after each other. That all changed when Maggie decided to fight the unions in the 80’s and brought down the pits. Life was never the same after that.

      Isn’t it strange how we see things differently.
      Living in Luton, it was sickening seeing regular strikes throughout the country. It was crippling us then, as we can see the result of that now. It took Maggie to break that awful hold, the unions had over our country. The Empire was falling quick enough without that additional restriction on labour doing it’s function.
      I’ve recently seen the development of the West Midlands into many miles of rolling green countryside, as opposed to soot engrained dour towns. No industry, but see above paragraph for that.
      I’ve also seen the still very poor valleys of South Wales, but ask, whatever use could that place have been, once the coal was virtually exhausted? That is a great pity, as the hearts of the Welsh people are golden and generous.
      Do we ever learn?

    Was just going into my teens by the end of the decade. What I remember was how thin most of us females were expected to be - not unhealthy, but towards the bottom of Normal BMI. I am constantly stunned by how chubby most young women are these days. And I don't remember any of us having tattoos - it was considered unladylike!

    The times when people would "take the car out" for the weekend. Toured the country with an Interrail pass in 1975. Gammon steak with French fries and two veg and orange lemonade that made your hair stand on end did not become my favourite choices, but I still love Battenberg cakes, scones , those lovely triangular sandwiches and a decent cup of tea. Sweet memories.

    I was a student living the free spirit life -- what a blast it was! The parties, the music, the freedom. Didn't stop. No one at the school where I had my first job could have known about my 'other' life. That could never be thecasr these days. Completely irresponsible of me really though I never let the school down, always worked hard and went on to teach abroad until retirement.
    Couldn't have lived a better life than those years in the 70s!!

      They still existed as people in 1974, they didn't just pop in to existence a few years later in 77 when they first chatted. I did though, literally popped in to existence in 77, my parents had no idea that I was expected. They already had 5 other little friggers to cope with. Them 1970s power cuts had a lot to answer for...
