God but the '70s were beige

[pplpilot]

As far as style and taste goes the 70 were hideous. For me mid century modern was where it was at. Even today it looks superb.

Think I'd have preferred beige!

I think that’s ready pasted vinyl.

I like beige. I must've had about 6 or 7 beige shirts,t-shirts,sweatshirts, but in the 90's not the 70's. On about boozing in the 1970's,it'll be 41 years this Christmas Eve since i first got "hammered". I was 16 years old. I bought a bottle of Harvey's Bristol Cream for 78p. I drank that then had a half pint of whiskey and i think i had a bottle of clan dew. I was then followed by .

Believe it or not, when I was a very young chap in the '60s, I had knitted swimming trunks.

Nothing wrong with knitted swimwear

The 70s beige thing is pretty much how I imagine modern day will look when I’m in my 70s and my corneas are clouding up.

Objectifying, much?

Incidentally, I'm _fairly_ sure that is crocheted rather than knitted. Not an expert though.
