Muttley – So lets test the memories of the members of this esteemed forum- Slade Socks were bright / garish to say the least. They were luminous socks in lime green, orange yellow or pink with a number of black hoops down the ankle. Sure to make you stand out in a crowd! All the rage around 1973/75. Why they were particularly called “”Slade Socks”” I aint got a clue as other bands (Mud, Bay City Rollers – tho less said the better) wore striped / hooped socks as well. If anyone can solve this totally trivial issue feel free …

They smell just as bad now as they did then! Now girls, what make was that musk that all the groovy girls used to wear in the mid seventys? Thinking about …

Awombleforever – I had a denim jacket ,like most people had then .I was very young and thought I was being clever at the time. I loved Mud they were one of my favourite bands but I also loved Greasers or rockers as they could be called. I thought Id fool my mum so I put a square of material on the back of it with I love Greasers and I cleverly made another square to go on top saying I love Mud to cover it. I used poppers to cover the Greaser one with the mud one. I then …

Sparky – Hey I just remembered that I used to have a pair of hipsters called loons. Barely covered my backside at the top, and were miles across at the bottom of the legs. Anyone else remember them? Awombleforever – I have a pair still ,like that black with coloured embroidery on the legs.They don’t fit me though as they are about a size 10.I even had to enlarge them slightly for a friend to borrow,also my daughter wore them to enter a talent competition over a year ago ,she was then 13. Wish I hadn’t taken the stitches out …

2Tone – Did I look smart or what! Shoulder length black hair (curled under-page boy style). Pillar box red shirt with large collar worn over a black velvet jacket, two tone trousers perched upon a pair of platforms …..what girl could resist? (most of them in fact). I’m convinced it was the platforms that caused me to regularly fall over at about 11.30pm each night and not the Watneys party seven that I had consumed that evening. Rennie – LOL Welcome 2 tone Just trying to picture it…..hmmmmm I’ve really got to get a picture board up for these little …
