start of a grand new career and then the opulent HK beckoned and after that Oz - the rot had set in not sure where but I was moving to fast to notice it!!
Doesnāt matter where you are when the Global Rot sets in
The Seventies were arguably the best decade in my lifeā¦
Having just completed a 7 year apprenticeship in mechanical engineering I applied for my first job as a skilled man with more qualifications than Kingdom Brunelā¦
I got me a house, a wife and a fast car. Along came a daughter (howād that happen) and I discovered my love of the wild places and became a runnerā¦
All the other decades pale into insignificance compared to the seventiesā¦
The music was outstanding with ELO, Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits, and the brilliant Mike Oldfieldā¦Tubular Bells is my all time favourite and my most played albumā¦Even now.
In 1979 Maggie Thatcher became PM (what a great team we made) and you could walk into Doncaster Town Centre without being accosted by some foreign geezers wanting your watch and wallet. You could drive down the motorway at over 100mph, (no cameras) and the only distraction was the Rolling Stones belting out of the radio and the wife in the passenger seat wearing a short skirt flashing some legā¦
Didnāt know we was bornā¦

I remember the 70s so well! I went to University in London in 1971. The remnants of the āswinging 60sā. It was amazing back then. I stayed in London, never went back home. After 25 years I left, having met my 2nd husband, we moved 60 miles away as London was getting too dirty, too crowded and far too expensive.

early 70ās caught a train everyday from hants up to waterloo then a walk - studying at the Polytechnic of the South Bank - kept fit in those days - sometimes stayed over for wild parties - first barmaids serving topless - had to fish out many a tiddler from me beer!!

It was good, going out on a 70s evening not knowing exactly where you were going to end up, hopefully in some pleasure dome or other

To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha.
