"get some candles in quick, there's going to be a power cut"


dark days indeed, luckily my on the ball father saw it coming and bought up shares in super lumijet torches, and ever ready batteries, which is why today, im considerably richer than you cunts.

at that time in falkirk the hot place for atrocious fashion was Henry Dillons....only shops that had perishable goods could keep there power on during the day so for short period Dillon gave you a free orange with every tartan shirt in a cunning attempt to outwit the power police

Shut down shortly after that tho.


The free banana with every pair of high-waisted trousers was a mistake in hindsight... too obvious.

bananas,no pockets and tight pants make strange impressions.


ada:- ooooh his pants were so tight you could tell what sex he was,

cissie, really? they were tighter than that, you could tell what religion he was.

Sev and I shopped in far classier joints than you Fa'kirk oiks, eh Sev?

City Cash Tailors, Arthur Black's, Krazy House, we had the world at our well-shod feet.

well shod platform feet

well shod with platforms, doc martens and wedges as I recall.

Even a very fine pair of black brogues.

Never brown of course.

Not to mention Argyle house for our made to measure jumpers, and Jackson the tailors for our made to measure Crombies.

ive recently bought a Harrington off ebay....i which i look attractive to both sexes

funnily enough, i did too.

im not too attractive though.

mines is a bit tight rouind the waist....probably sowed up wrong

I bought a Harrington from Baracuta a few years back. Pretty good quality for the price.

Still got a Crombie, Sev. Best coats in the world.

Two stripe college jersey, anyone? Black and red, green and gold!

i has green and gold which i wore with outrageous oxford bags

if going downstairs you caught your platforms in the turn ups you could freefall for days

mines had three stripes though

Lol, almost bought one from a charidee shop in Stockport today, but cant get the "dead mans clothes" thing out my head.


a crombie i mean

Ha ha, didn't have Oxford bag but did have green and gold CJ with two stripes. And a black and white one with three stripes (and added Paisley checks!)

Had a pair of Skinners at one stage which I wore with a black blazer. What fukkin style we had in the 70s, not like these shellsuited arsehoes today.

Thinking of seeing Neds this week, should bring back more fashion memories if nothing else.

I mind back in the 70,s, the record running a story about how the kids were dressing as the characters from Clockwork Orange, they thought the world was coming to an end in a wave of Droog ultra violence.

i had a brown college jumper with the additional fashion homicide of paisley checks

Yep, it was a real disappointment to actually see Clockwork Orange and see it was just some pretentious art movie wank.

In many ways we had a lot more style in the 70s, I think. Girls are well dressed these days, young lads seem locked in some metrosexual nightmare with their floppy hair and their jeans hanging round their knees.

Fukk me, we must be almost exactly the same age

Hooped dayglo socks?

no your obviously way older....im just a fan of 70's memorobilia

No I reckon I'm a year or two younger.

And I can spell memorabilia properly.

i can spell it correctly as well....i just choose not to as a sign of my individuality and belief in personal freedom
