Hey digger....were you 'really' that young....or were you just showing off 'good legs' ! :wink
Speaking of which Lesley..how about the early 70s..and HOT PANTS!

....coming directly after the 60s minis (skirts not cars !)
I do recall 'Long John Baldrey' Lesley.....smokey throaty voice yes?
A 60s get together sounds great idea..or should I say cool man...

It's not "Cool", Ellie (that's so 50's).....

It's "Far Out, Man".

See? I are Hip...take this pill, and call me in the evening.

Or, as Long John hisself would say....

"Don't Try To Lay No Boogie On The King Of Rock And Roll"

Oh yes Ellie, I do remember 'Hot Pants' mind you I was a true 'mini skirt' wearer, In those days I had legs that went right up to my...... and wore the shortest mini skirts, in fact, one of the customers in my fathers pub in Dorset, where I was working, called them 'pussy pelmets' you learned very quickly how to reach the top shelf without getting embarassed,
I have to keep my thoughts to myself when I now see my youngest daughter in a tiny denim mini skirt!!!!! what goes around, comes around!
Still we have the best memories that is for sure.
Far out man

Now ..dont be shy Lesley(

)..I expect..like mine..they still go right up to your ..derriere? (your legs I mean..not skirt

)
Do you feel tempted to say (like our Mums did).."that skirts far too short"..and "thats too much lipstick/eye shadow"?

This ' talk'..its still around..did it ever go away?....my young niece told me I looked 'Cool' at wedding.....
and my very young grandson asked J.."What do you dig reading man!"
But youre right Lesley..good times/fun times..but was it simply cos we were young d'you think?
But as Digger says ..the musics still great..timeless..and I was so glad I was a part of it....

see what i missed out on

i was only born in the 60`s so by the time i was taking an interest , all the girls were covering up as much as possible in horrible shell suits..!
but i`m sure both you ellie and lesley jean would still show a fine pair in a mini skirt

Lesley…. were you…perhaps…one of those who didn’t have a ticket for Hendrix on the Isle of Wight….(don’t think anybody had a ticket actually)…so settled for the Adge Cutler gig in that field off the A38….ooo..arrr…

Now look digger, I might live in Somerset but I don't go ooo...arrr! and I have never seen the Worzels, mind you I was into folk and country at the time as well, and we used to have a folk club once a month at our pub, in fact it is where the 'Yetties' started (If you have ever heard of them)
Sorry Tabby, don't worry I am an animal lover !

Yes Ellie, I do hear my Mum sometimes when I think, that skirt is toooo short, the worst is I realy sounded like my Dad last Friday when Top of The Pops was on the tv, I heard myself saying 'what a load of rubbish, can't even hear the words' Oh dear getting old I know

Thank-you guest..how could I forget that one!!

Drink up ye cider Drink up ye cider
For tonight we merry be
We’ll knock the milk churns over
And roll them in the clover
Cos the corn’s half cut an so be we…

ha ha….I remember the cider….not that fizzy woodpecker (or coates)…but the scrumpy….would make the legs go numb

….OOO....ARRR…

Ellie · Post by **Ellie** » Tue May 11, 2004 10:01 pm

wonder if you or Lesley..ever did a bit of 'scrumping'..for those who dont know this word....'pinching apples' from orchards...

But the old scrumpy! Ive tasted that a few times in my youth..and boy what a head the next day!
