Used to pay 1p on the bus, got a little square ticket.
Chips for 7p a bag before they taxed hot food.
80p I think I remember paying to get into the Street End as a nipper?
Going out all weekend and still having change from £20
Using lolly-ice sticks to get the 2ps and 10ps out of the phone boxes
Net curtains sticking to the ice on the inside of the windows. No central heating then.
Being slim, and looking all cool as a mod. If I tried now I would be Roly Poly Mod.
Freddo's were cheap
Making things up at confession instead of saying what you had really done
Being able to bunk on the ferry and hide in the bogs
Trying to catch the girl on the BBC test card blinking
The Sweeney. Way more violent than police shows now.
Monkey Magic
Small Faces
Too much to mention

Yes. It's a 1971 Eko Rio Bravo 12-string.
A couple of photos from my lunatic gigging past:
Feb 1971 with long hair (yeah, baby!)
June 1972 in white bell bottoms:
Happy days!

I finally stopped gigging in September 2022 when I was in hospital for a week with sepsis and a kidney infection. I sold three of my Les Pauls, but still have this 1991 Custom.
And a close-up of the maple top:

Thought I'd depress everyone, and just mention that it is fifty one years since the first Sex Pistols gig.
I enjoyed the punk period, as I was in my early twenties.
Lucky to see most of the big bands at Erics.
Sad to say, I don't think the bulk of the music has aged well.

I’m so jealous mate, I was just a bit too young for that. I look at those Eric’s flyers nowadays and the lineups are amazing
Disagree with your opinion of most of that music not aging well though
Can anyone above Pension age tell me if the DWP write and tell you what state pension you will receive. I got a year till retirement and have tried to get a pension forcast but to sign into Government Gateway you need a driving licence or passport and I have neither.
I honestly can't remember.
Surely you don't need a driving licence or passport to set up a Government Gateway Account?
That's ridiculous if correct. There must be tens of thousands who have neither.
