Lads who used to wear their runners without tying the laces so they were loose like a pair of slippers.  What was that about?  Walking around and your shoes almost falling off.  Kick a ball and their shoe went 20 yds into somebody's back garden.

Going outside without looking like an extra in an Altern 8 video.

It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

na na na na na na na na.

I got my left ear pierced when I was 10, as was the style at the time.

Long hair, beards, tank tops, loon pants, denim jackets, prog rock, pretending to think that drugs are fashionable, demos for whatever. If the lockdown lasts long enough, we'll be back in the 70s without noticing.

Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say.
