Happy Jack Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1389829111' post='2338532'] And don't forget Guinness at 30p a pint! [/quote] People always remember how cheap beer (or petrol, or a packet of fags) was, but somehow forget to mention that their weekly wage packet was £13.50 and a packet of Luncheon Vouchers (worth 75p). Well, that's what I was earning in 1974 anyway. And I didn't drink Guinness anyway, my local served some appalling muck called Worthington E, and the one round the corner sold Double Diamond. The closest I could get to a decent pint in those pre-CAMRA days was Courage Directors in the West End. Ah yes, I remember when all this were cloth caps ...

Skybone Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1360625642' post='1973789'] Sunday was great for TV. CHiPs used to be on in the afternoon just before The Big Match. What more could anyone want? [/quote] CHiPs was on at Saturday tea-time, Sunday was for The Professionals.

steantval Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 [quote name='Stacker' timestamp='1360654785' post='1973934'] I dreaded Sunday evenings. Jeez, from about 5pm on it was purgatory! Religious programmes and un-funny sh*t like Dad's Army and weird music shows with acapella groups ( the Swingle Singers) and tawdry folk acts. Grim indeed! [/quote] Dads Army - un-funny sh*t , your opinion. Lots of folks will disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
