The 70s

[Diver]

Ah! the 70's

I joined the navy in the 70's and never looked back. England was behind me and I'd seen enough of England to last me a lifetime

Far away from your land of endless sunshine, to my land full of rainy skies and gales...

I really like the song and it is pretty stirring when belted out but I think the answer to all the questions is No!

And did those feet in ancient time walk upon England's mountain green? - Err No
And was the holy Lamb of God on England's pleasant pastures seen? - Err No
And did the countenance divine shine forth upon our clouded hills? - Err No
And was Jerusalem builded here among those dark satanic mills? - Err No

Still a bit of poetic license eh?

Anyone else going to be watching this tonight - BBC Two - The 70s, Get It On 70-72

I imagine some of you were around for it <cough> the first time round.

Indeed I was. It wasn't as good as the 60s.

If you can remember anything about the sixties, you weren't really there.
-- Paul Kantner

Often wrongly attributed by a younger generation to Robin Williams, who said it, but he was just quoting Kantner.

Hands up who has Dark Side of The Moon (umpteenth iteration since the original vinyl)? Live at Pompeii - director's cut no less.

About the only good thing to come out of the 70's. No going back to flared trousers and platform shoes please.

I remember Derby County, Leeds and Notts Forest won the league championship, and Chelsea, Man Utd and Spurs were all relegated.
