andrewb please refrain from talking about the 70's if the only information you have is from google as i simply cant pay any attention to what you have to say on the 70's seen as you wernt even born
its a bit like a 18 year old talking about how great or bad woodstock was
im sure this labour govenment has more than enough cockups that you can throw in mancie's face that you have actualy lived through
just sayin the 70's wernt as bad as your post makes out because as far as im concerned they were a damn sight better than the 80's , 90's and even present day but then again im going off the fact that we had hot summers in summer and snow knee deep in winter which we dont get anymore
i was only 10 after all ;-)
