    Waking up to the milk float and the clinking of bottles looking out of a condensated wet window, wash in bathroom, going downstairs having breakfast, Terry wogan on the radio, Dad with his head buried in a news paper, porridge,hair brushed, off to school..and not a bloody mobile phone insight.. perfect!

      Strikes, three day weeks, power cuts, Ted Heath taking on the miners. And losing. IRA bombing campaigns. British Leyland. On strike, usually. The Austin Allegro. ( we had one). The bl**dy thing spent more time in the garage than on the road. The Allegro was officially the SECOND worst car ever made. The first prize went to the East German Trabant which in terms of sheer awfulness was impossible to beat.
      Almost forgot. Football hooliganism. England had proper football hooligans in the 70s. Saturday afternoon at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea vs Fulham. That would bring out the mounted police in droves.
      Casual violence. Nothing like today's knife gangs of course. But there was an undercurrent. In west London in places like Acton the local coppers would mete out a beating to some of the local gangs. Nobody worried too much about "rights" or "evidence" or any of that nonsense.
      I went to a grammar school that had a very high academic standard, as it happens. It later became a comprehensive. Being Roman Catholic, the kids were predominantly of Irish descent but also a substantial Polish minority plus a few Italians and a couple of Spaniards. So there was an undercurrent of IRA sympathisers, Polish anti communist nationalism and Sicilian organised crime. It was a fun place.
      There was arms dealing, nothing serious of course. Just airguns but selling them in the playground was against the school rules. This prompted an investigation by the headmaster who I'm sure was an ex copper. We used to call him Bookim Danno ( Hawaii 5 O reference, obviously ).
      Ah yes. My teenage years. Sighs.

      I will be 59 in July, my best years of ‘quality’ life are behind me 😩. It’s not just because I was younger then, it’s how it is now! I wouldn’t want to be growing up now! I don’t want to be young again, I just wish I could re live those years 🥰

    Born in 63 grew up in 70s and 80s. I'm still in that mind frame. No one can replace that for me. It's always there when I get nostalgic for the best of everything. The world was supposed to be better in the future, but it is so much worse than I could believe. In my mind I live out the rest of my life in those times and would be happy if I could pass a little happiness to my daughter and her babies. And a little knowledge that I picked up along the way. Peace everyone

    I’m so glad I was kid in the 70s . My childhood was amazing. We played outside all day long, playing spotlight at night was so much fun . We had no worries only what to play next. Wonderful tv programs to watch the whole family could watch together. These days children worry so much about things . There is a information overload. Nothing is private. It feels like the innocence is gone from childhood now .I wish I could take my kids and grandkids back to the 70s just for a day .

    Thank you so much for putting this together! 😊 It took me right back as if I was living my youth all over again. I was surprised to find I instantly recalled all the theme tunes and words as if no time had passed at all! My memories absolutely flooded back to my early childhood weekends, summer holidays, and Christmases with all my family. I was wonderful, and at the same time a little melancholy, as most people of my age will probably agree remembering happier simpler times and those who we no longer have around us any more. It was like stepping into a time machine😁it's definitely made my day and cheered me... So thanks once again!

They are not only my favorite shows, but also my favorite tales in general. As for those who disliked this video, they might be people who didn't like the decade, but it does not matter in which year or decade they were born. In my opinion, all the decades have their ups and downs, but these people need to learn to not hate on a decade because of the bad things that have happened and just like only that decade because of the good stuff and nostalgia.

      wipes the floor with any other decade to have grown-up in.
      Crime was almost unheard of, people cared & socialized regardless of background, everyone was included & everyone had a ball man woman & child from grandma to toddlers. Housing prices, new cars & goods/food cost 2/5th's of f-ck-all as a percentage of wages, 1 wage could EASILY support an average mortgage (try that nowadays you'd be on the bones of your arse pronto, costs an arm a leg & firstborn offspring these days! jeeeez!).
      Flares / bell-bottomed jeans, wide-collared paisley long-sleeved shirts, mini-skirts & mullets or plaited-hairdo's - what's not to love!?. Just add The Bee Gees pumpin' & you'll never look back... 'Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man no time to talk...'
      We know how lucky we were & we know we hit the zeitgeist jackpot
      when it comes to being born a certain decade/time/era.
      (I was born 6 June 1969, 6/6/69). With rock & roll like 'Long Way To The Top'
      by AC/DC for a start - we had it made! Best Growin'Up Years EVER 1970's; easy!
