Yep, going out to play at 8 am in the summer holidays and not going home 'till 6 at night, getting sent to the corner shop for 10 No6 for my Dad and having enough change for a quarter of mint imperials. Playing cops and robbers around the estate or British bulldog, huge games of football on the field with 30 kids and Dads on each side, chaos! Bloody Bay City Rollers scarves, being allowed to stay up late with my Mum to watch tv over the weekend when my Dad was on nights, Kojak, Streets of San Fransisco, Professionals, the Sweeney, brilliant times!

1970s fashion, began with a continuation of the
mini skirts, midis and maxis
bell-bottoms and
the  hippie look from the late 1960s,
platform shoes which appeared on the fashion scene in 1971 and often had soles two to four inches thick.
tye dye shirts
hot pants

Wide-legged, flared jeans and trousers as immortalised in the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever,
The "disco look", complete with three-piece suits for men and rayon,
or jersey wrap dresses for women, which the film further popularized,
crop tops

The men often wore lamé suits, silver astronaut-style outfits, satin quilted jackets, wide-legged denims or velvet trousers, and rhinestone-studded shirts.

punk fashion and straight, cigarette-legged jeans. 
mules and ankle-strapped shoes.

Wow I feel young hahaha. You old bunch 

I grew up in the 80 though down in Plymouth before moving up here. What fun it was growing up then. Able to stay out without worry, the fun and games, even the little rhymes we had then.....my god people would have the shock of there lives if only they remembered what it was really like instead of all this politically correct, health and safety conscious rubbish of 2000 and onwards.

We could camp out anywere, speak to people in the street without fear of been ambushed by a gang of idiotic thugs, listen to music on a ghetto blaster without fear of having our £200+ I pads and phones nicked. Shout across the road to your mates parents to see if there allowed out yet without been called a loud mouthed idiot......
