were the 'good old days' really that?

[Bobbisox]

The very gentlemanly Mr Veritas posted a thread in a post I did a couple of days back with me saying how wonderful it would have been to be Land Army Girl back then and as usual our elder statesman spoke a lot of sound sense, he talked about the hardships of those years and just how easy it is to view them, as maybe did, through rose colored specs..
so was the 40s/50s/and 60s so great after all

Bobbi ♥

[Bobbisox]

I wasn't asking you then!!!

[janbee]

Maybe they were better because we were younger. I loved the 60s, that was definitely my era.

You can't be describing the one who in a previous thread who stated " the death of the Duke of Edinburgh" can't come quickly enough for me"

Very gentlemanly.

[Bobbisox]

yes mine too jan, we were so lucky to be young then but when you see the films of the girls dancing to the big band sound with servicemen, I think it would have been good then too
Bobbi ♥

Sqad, it's probably best not to be quoting others on here.. sometimes it doesn't make one very popular!

I wasn't there either, Bobbi, but I think Mr V is fantastic x

[Sqad]

sara...one thing that I don't have to worry about is "popularity"...........!!

[Bobbisox]

Morning Dr Filth I was staying at my sisters in Whitsable where you could see RC from her garden, it was smashing then, the first song I remember hearing was Summer in the City and it was a red hot Summer then

[ummmm]

I do actually Bobbi.....my Dads girlfriend had one way beyond my sixteenth year

[Bobbisox]

I agree sara and he should always be afforded respect, I was brought up like that and it seems you were too

[pericat]

Good morning all - bobbi I think every decade has it's pros and cons - I would love to have lived in 60s America with the hops and ice cream parlours etc

[Sqad]

What about the respect of the Duke of Edinburgh?

[Bobbisox]

mine was a Servis twin tub, bloody hard work so I think of my poor Mum with the boiler and mangle, no spinners for them, it must have been so hard

[Bobbisox]

yes peri, me too hence the Bobbisox lol

[mrs.chappie]

Hi all.

Hey Joy, I expect you remember dolly tubs. I fell head-first into the tub when I was very small. Still have the scar!

[DrFilth]

i had a little japanese radio and at times you had to hold it next to the window glass to get a signal. there was only radio luxemburg ( the top 20 ) on a sunday night in them days.

at least in them days you could get a dentist

[Bobbisox]
