Re: Let's go back in time..

Have to think about this one.
So, the time I was 15 we were living way out in the sticks. No clubs, No cinema, Nothing so it was the wireless. Billy Cotton Band Show, The Sexton Blake Stories, Ray's a Laugh, Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future and so many comedy shows that it would take yonks to name them all. All this long before we had the telly. May seem 'boring' to today,s generation but we were more than happy then.

Friday night aged 15?

Getting all glammed up in my hotpants and platform shoes which I had bought from Morley market for £5 that Friday morning. I had nicked off school to go get those shoes then heading off with my best friend down to Club 70 youth club to dance round my handbag to songs by Bay City Rollers.
Aged 15.....hearing Bohemian Rhapsody sung by my idol Freddie Mercury and Queen.


Awww Carol what a great thread, thanks for raising the memory.
Those were the days my friend, truly.

Wonderful thread

Re: Let's go back in time..

By the time I was 15 we were living in Perth and Saturday night at the City Hall was "Thee Night". We got the Bands and solo Singers that were in the Charts, a different attraction Star every week. I got to see, listen and dance to some of the best of the 60s Bands.
Friday night was with my pals sorting out what we were going to wear the next night and just general girl gossip. Wonderful times.

Re: Let's go back in time..

I would have been doing precisely nothing as my Mum wouldn't let me go out at that age

Re: Let's go back in time..

Conkers fights back in the sixties for me was a highlight of the year great fun was had by all the Kids back in those days,
Don't see any kids doing it now what a shame,

another tradition bites the dust.

Those who do play that traditional game now have to wear eye protection and probably protection for their hands too – Elf & Safety you know – poor little darlings!

All the real fun must have gone out of life for today's youngsters, it is a real shame isn't it!
