I'd like to go back to the 1940's same as Krissy. I love watching 'Goodnight Sweetheart' where he goes back in time. |

They say if you can remember them, then you wernt there. I cant remember them. But I can remember the fights down at the south coast sea fronts. I was a rocker (biker to the uninformed). We hated the mods on thier scooters. He he he. Sorry POE. |

In those days you never had to wear crash helmets or anything like that. Rockers (or Greasers) wore leather and Mods wore parka's with loads of fur trim. Happy days |

I have great memories of the 70's, when i was a kid. I'd like to go further back too, maybe 13th 14th C, would be interesting, probably quite smelly tho!! |
