If NSC was around in 1973

21 bob - aka a guinea

One thing we lost when we moved to decimal was the old slang: life was more colourful when we spoke about bobs, tanners and tosheroons

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

and tosheroons

I never heard that one!

I always liked half-a-crown.

That's true. But what I'm saying is that you would have been a lone voice - most of us just couldn't believe that we'd got him

Fair enough, it's difficult 40 years later to be sure of the exact chronology of the change from delight to negativity, but I'm quite sure that after the Bristol Rovers match, if not quite ready to start calling for Clough to go I was definitely harbouring grave doubts.

Well first of all i would beat my wife up good and proper , then put the kids in the understairs cupboard for the night with a pack of crisps each and a Panda Pop.
Then stick my best flares on, while the missus covered her black up with makeup and thought of a good excuse to tell everyone.
Then walk to my local working mens club for a night out, where there would be a stripper, a blue comedian and a tote.
I would be drinking Worthington E OR Double Diamond and the missus would drink what she was ****ing given, being most likely a Babysham.
Thats how they rolled in the 70s

Anyone heard Slade's new Christmas single?

It'll never catch on if you ask me.

What sort of a title is "Merry Christmas Eddie Boddy" anyway?

They sold aht ain't they, used to be a pwoper skin'ead band.
