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.

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...
