I was 19 at the time and like you say Dave life seemed so more simple then....

Seems I was born in a generation where tech' was good but weather was rubbish then.

Not sure how you pulled with this bad boy.

1976 I was ten and we had to cut our camping holiday short because of the water shortage. We cold get no water at the campsite taps. Was telling my boy how different the world was then. No computers, no mobile phones, mars bars were less than 10p and you could play football in the road without getting run over, arrested or abused by road rage motorists for holding up their journey for a few seconds.

We didn't get bowsers wher I lived. We had to queue at a standpipe. Funny thing though I used to go swimming pretty much every day and the town swimming pool never seemed to run short of water......
