[chucklor]

Throwing yourself all over the floor to Norhtern Soul at Wigan Casino, St.Ives, Coalville and Cleethorpes to name a few, pep pills to keep you awake, patchwork trousers that you you to make by nicking everyones jeans in your area complimented with freshly stolen bowling shoes for dancing in....I remember it well...

I also remember the 70s well, I remember my first pair of monkey boots, lumberjack coats, collecting bonfire wood in a bogey we made ourselves with old pram wheels and a plank of wood, getting time off school because of strikes, and packs of 5 cigarettes (cost 14p), and you could have hours of fun in phone boxes annoying the operator.

I changed the gearbox on my dad's Ford Cortina in the 70's. Took a few hours, but was relatively easy. Changed a few master cylinders on it too and adjusted the clutch and rear brakes. Cars were easy to work on in the 70's. almost everything could be changed/worked on.
Modern cars however are completely different beasts, designed for garage technicians to work on.
