Were the "good old days" really that?
hardships and rationing (which I can't remember btw)
the power cuts of the 70s?
the big rises in our pay packet because it was index linked?
the music, the words you could hear and sing to later?
frozen jubblys, jacks and chucks
where only the boys played footie and cricket
and when the Summer holidays were long hot days
I think so , apart from the hardships of war of cause
