    A night only slightly worse than the night the Titanic sank for inflicting misery on the world.

    I was 5 at the time...but don't really recall this

    I remember clearly though the 40th anniversary of the end of WW2 IN 1985.

    To think that that's almost 30 years ago now.:eek:

    The years are going faster...

    I was trying to come to terms with the fact that for me 40 years ago is not like it used to be........

    I remember when 40 years ago meant the War, B&W footage & things that happened long before I was born.

    Nevermind. As you get older you might understand

    Antiques Roadshow were doing a special tonight & they were talking to 101 year old lady whose father had served in WW1.

    Sharp as a tack, she was. Talking about her memories of her Dad coming back from the war in 1918.

    She is one of the few people left that has memories of that era.

    I like me Slayer etc, but Abba are next to the Beatles imo. Great songwriters.

    What have we got today? Machines...

    Wonderful music, awful fashion sense.

    The polar opposite of what we have going in the pop charts today, funnily enough.

    You should have seen what the rest of us were wearing at the time! The 1970s was a special time for fashion.

    Their songs had melodies; the voices were good; they could do interesting harmonies; there were plnety of good catches and good riffs.

    And there was Agnetha's bum.
