Ahhh... Back to 74 today, back to the days when I was just a 9 year old kid...

3 day working weeks, power strikes, candles lighting the shops, standing with
your mum in the queue that stretched for miles outside the bakers shop in the
the hope of being able to buy a single loaf of bread and 6 rolls for the 2 hours
that they switched the power back on...

The days when Scotland always made it to the World Cup always to be knocked out
in the first round, the troubles in Northern Ireland dominated the news
but you couldn't watch it anyway cos there was no electricity...

Perm hairdos, Flared trousers with 6 button high wastbands, Triple decker
platform shoes that made you a foot taller, hand me down clothes (even
though I only had three older sisters)...

Life was simpler back then, Happy days indeed...
