I had the time of my life in the seventies, despite the fact that it was a miserable decade. Racist, homophobic, sexist and intolerant in many other ways too. Safety at work was non existent and many people are paying the price for that now after spending years breathing all sorts of crap into their lungs with no protection, despite the dangers being well understood by then. I engaged in dangerous work practices that would be unacceptable now as a matter of course, and I was expected to do so without complaint.
And apart from '76 it always seemed to be bloody raining.
