Neither was I. That's why I asked the question... what would we do if we as we are now were trasnsported through time to 1970

You'd probably whine that you were bored, I imagine... and perv over Pans People.

Watch Ready, Steady, Go, and Jukebox Jury, and The Old Grey Whistle Test.

Not that I was there, you understand

I was 10 in 1970. If I wasn't playing outdoors, I had my head stuck in a book - usually Enid Blyton. TV wasn't on 24/7, so I remember playing board games, cards etc with my family.

I'd be busy perming my hair. Making replica Bay City Roller trousers and knitting a Dr Who (Tom Baker) style scarf.

Anyone remember Lesley Ash in The Tube on Channel 4?  Lordy, she could have turned me back then I reckon.

Sitcoms that were racist, sexist and homophobic...

Oh yes ... Love Thy Neighbour and the Alf Garnett ones ... blimey, they would never get away with them now

I thought The Tube was more 80's, but didn't Jools Holland getting a big telling off for one of his phrases.....something like "be there or be ungroovy f█████s.

Yea,well mine was an all girls Catholic school run by nuns.. Though we had mostly ordinary teachers.

That was telly that was!

I'd be watching an episode of "It Aint Half Hot Mum"

I watched a couple of episodes of Mind your Language on You Tube with Growly Jnr recently.  How times have changed.

Colditz on a Thursday night ... followed by Monty Python (which I pretended to like, but I never really understood)

Hehe Growly. Can you imagine now?

Triangular milk cartons...

Power cuts! And having to dry my hair in front of the gas fire (pre central heating days).   Then we'd all go down to the local 'youth' club where there was no heating, no music and NO lights.

No wonder you're scarred Cosmo  

Two-and-a-half pence piece: if ever a coin was of a decade; that one was surely of the 70's.

Round about 1971 I was 16 and my sister was 19.
We'd spend our saturday mornings lazing around in bed listening to Stuart Henry on the radio.
Our best friends would have stayed the night and our mum and dad used to present us with a cooked breakfast in bed.
We'd all have a good gossip about our friday night and look forward to our saturday night out with the boyfriends.
We'd be up and out around noon and head off for a bit of shopping before being back home in time to fight for who is first to get the bath.
Immersion heaters took ages to warm the water in those days and dads were always worrying about the leccy bills.

aaaah the year i was born   .... i would probably do a lot of lying around, crying, pooping and drinking milk

So not much change there then Barney  

Down the club in my tonic suit, and ravel loafers dancing to Tamla, ska and Blue Beat. Reading, Playing records, watching Top of the Pops. Just having a brilliant old time.

Watching TOTP on a Thursday night in my jammies

just swapped the milk for voddy

 

I remember they were building houses near us and at the end of the day the workmen would just down tools and go home - sod fences and signs to keep us put cos of "elf & safety" - leaving us kids with a brilliant opportunity to clamber up the left behind stepladders to the upstairs of the half built houses so we could swing out of the windows (I can smell the breeze blocks and cement even now), we'd swarm over the diggers and JCB's - it was a whole new world of excitement for us. 

Saturday night discos (and they were all called discos back then) with Baccarrat (sp) "Yessir, I can Boogie", Abba, Brotherhood of Man, Mud, Sweet, Showaddywaddy, Osmonds, Jackson 5, Rod Stewart, KC and the Sunshine Band and **faints"" the Bay City Rollers...
