Ya beat me to it, ExPat! Not that I'm (quite) old enough to remember any of the stuff in the original clip, you understand!

Yea, I'm startin' to wonder why all you young whipper-snappers are allowed on sites like this. :lol:

I'm old but not THAT old. Still in the over 50 crowd though. People are shocked I've worked 31 years in the same company (has been bought and sold 2 times). Seniority is like tenure. I just hope my half million pension is there when I can draw it without penalties from Uncle Sam.

Far out man....Groovy You had to be there to appreciate it.

So glad I wasn't quite there for this stuff. I grew up in the ugly Detroit Rock Wars years, which was also known as the 70s.

I left England in 1957, so I missed out on all that. Sigh!

"That" British accent? Tsk, tsk... they don't all sound like Dick van Dyke over there, you know!

@Patty -- my accent is very mild, most people think I'm from Boston.

I remember my sister and the "paper" dresses. (Hell no your not going out wearing that)
I remember the "fruit boots" as my step dad called them. Man he was such a square[].
