Truly a lost world 😢 No internet, no “influencers”, no mobile phones, only 3 tv channels. I’d go back in a heartbeat, and stay.

Id go back to the 70s in a heartbeat. Nothing was expected, Everything was appreciated, what you had was a luxury.

Born in 71..I would happily wake up tomorrow, back in the 70s. We all had less, yet appreciated more.

The smell of a British Christmas is ingrained in us all. It is timeless.

I'm 64, and I can honestly say that although the 70s was not the most prosperous of times but it was certainly a far happier era than what we are presently experiencing, we had a lot less materialisticly wise but we had so much more spiritually and morally 🎄☃️🎅

I always will remember my Mum saying at 5.30pm on Christmas eve; Oh well, if we haven't got it, we'll have to do without!

Just in my teens in 1970. Life was so much better then. Pity we got so culturally enriched!

Free education, affordable housing, coherent communities, functioning health services, best pop music, best movies, the best of times, really, never to be seen again I suspect. RIP Britain.
