Huge cracks in the playing field at school. Rambling on my bike. My first sexual experience, although I didn't lose my virginity until 3 years later.

Four Seasons “December 63”

Wild Cherry “ Play that Funky Music”

“Bohemian Rhapsody” Queen

“Misty Blue” Dorothy Moore

“Dream-On” Aerosmith

Sutherland Brothers and Quiver – “Arms of Mary”

Sigh!!!!!

and if i'm not mistaken we skated on that ressie in the winter too as it had seriously frozen over but was still very shallow as there had not been an awful lot of rain

It was sooo hot, the mountain above Blaenavon caught fire and took weeks for it to finally stop burning.

The heavens opened on the Saturday of August bank holiday just as the floats in the local carnival arrived at Pontypool park

I remember driving around for my job and using good old AM CB's for relaying messages to Base Stations about fires that had started. Those messages being passed to the Fire Brigade either by telephone or .. (Shh.. CB's in firemens cars!)

Bohemian Rhapsody definately being played on the radio, when Radio One was a music station and not talk radio!

Making an effective gun from an old 177 air rifle and nail gun pellets.. Now that is a story!

Being 18 and madly in love with my soon to be wife.. Thinking it would last forever... And so far so good!

Using the Gadebridge Park in Hemel Hempstead as a meeting point for us all and having impromtu parties with our mates in the sunshine.

Just having a great time, really

It was the year I left secondary school. I spent the summer working at Knowsley Safari Park for the grand wage of £2.50 per day and got my first full-time job in the September at a local tailoring factory (was only a stop gap 'till I joined the WRAF the following year).

20 No6 cigarettes cost 31p. School dinners were 60 pence for the week (by then I didn't have them...used the 60 pence towards buying my cigs, unbeknownst to my mother, lol). It was possible to go to the pub and have 3 half-pints of lager, 10 cigs and still have change from a pound note.

I was 14 and living on the coast was bliss in 76. I remember we were sent home every time the thermometer hit 90 deg F in the L- block classrooms - which usually happened around 1pm every day. Then it was across the road and onto the beach. Happy times!

"The Eurovision Song Contest 1976 was won by Brotherhood of Man, with their song Save Your Kisses for Me."

And it stayed at No.1 for six painful weeks lol

The song scored the maximum 12pts from 7 countries and amassed the highest score ever for a winning Eurovision song, but surprisingly only collected 3pts from the Republic of Ireland.

Stand pipes at the end of the streets for fresh water.

Bath only on a Friday night with a plimsol line 3inches high around it and having to share the bath water.

Not going back to school until end of October because of the water shortage.

Wading though 3 foot of snow early December, just to get to school.

Playing in the local park from 8am til 8pm and only going home because we were hungry.

Drinking pop all the time from the Alpine lorry because water was in such short supply that we couln't have juice.

An ice cream cone with a flake (a 99) from the ice cream van costing 10p

etc....

The summer of a generation

The sun, falling in love

When life was so simple

Of walks and talks

When the world as so alive

Flares platforms and penny rounds

The sun shone in April

Lasted until the winter winds blew her away

We had those days of 76

I do think of them with a smile!
