[@AlanTaylorCRSmusicproduction]

Shit food, crap entertainment, Everywhere stank of old cigarette smoke, everything was grey and colourless, People aged before their years. God I miss the 70s.

[@West.Ham1964]

Ahhh, a couple of scoops of ice cream with some wafers placed on top. We are talking class here.

[@SuzLa1]

[@stevenmc4446]

[@24yrukdesigner]

[@tedtheturbot]

You must be one of those posh toffs, we couldn't afford sound till '82. You'll be saying you had colour next just to rub it in.

[@stevenmc4446]

[@elliotsnook7092]

People aged really badly in those days. No one in this film is over thirty years old.

[@AlabamaShrimp]

Why don't these films have any sound?

[@aston-martin-internationalist]

You have to remember that this was filmed in 1977. The sound is likely to have been recorded separately and may not have survived or been lost. I'm thankful that the film has survived.

[@philipcurnow7990]

The 70's were crap. As dull as this film.

[@philipcurnow7990]

RichardTheThird Not for cross channels ferries or any means of public transport as far as I can remember. 🙃

[@philipcurnow7990]

RichardTheThird They were. My great grandfather told me. He was born in 1895. The 70's were also crap for the Austin Princess and trade unions. The 80's began in 1977 of course.

[@philipcurnow7990]

Cheers mate.

[@cathedral94]

I will GLADLY take the 1970’s over the boring and f*cked up 2010’s any day.

[@SuzLa1]

@@philipcurnow7990 Only reason 80s seemed OK was because after Thatcher did the opposite of Germany by making millions unemployed, while Germany didn't fight the workers and gave them what they wanted, so people having well paid jobs in good circumstances was the priority in Germany, Thatcher left Britain an economy based on little else than being closely linked with USA banks encouraging greed and debt, which seemed great for a few years, but then the whole British economy crashed by the early 90s when many people couldn't pay back the debts they were encouraged to have.
