Re: No skirts at school
I've seen girls from Cleethorpes, easy mistake to make thinking it was an all boys school  
agree about the 70's though

Aye, we had things then we don’t have now…
3 day weeks, power cuts, rubbish piling up in the streets, wild-cat strikes, Bloody Sunday, 4 times the rate of fatal workplace accidents, 3 times the rate of infant mortality, twice as many road fatalities, twice as many male lung cancer deaths, Morris Marinas, the Bay City Rollers…
Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be…

You surely meant Austin Allegro? Otherwise, a very good hate list.

Re: No skirts at school
Was always irritated that in hot summers (and in South Africa it could be pretty hot) the girls had summer uniforms but as boys had to keep shirt, tie, blazer, long trousers. Same seems to apply to workplaces where women can dress to suit weather but gents are often stuck in suits. (Much of this has gone with less formal dress in many workplaces, especially roles not public facing.)

Oh I don't know . .
Available housing, available jobs, cars you could fix yourself, washing machines that got clothes clean in less than 3 hours, knife fights were extremely rare, hard drug abuse was confined to the rich, the police did a better job, most kids got a decent education, brilliant rock music, environmental activists stayed up in their trees, no muslim nutjobs, TV was mainly interesting with no celebrity crap, you didn't need a 3 week appointment to see a doctor or dentist, the EU weren't yet arses, the phone (if you had one) wasn't constantly ringing with scam callers, a blackboard was a blackboard, and OMO was a washing powder.

Re: No skirts at school
"knife fights were extremely rare"-ly reported
"cars you could fix yourself" - you had to, because they kept breaking down
"hard drug abuse was confined to the rich" because alcoholism was prevalent instead…

These days they torch your car before it breaks down, carry guns, grow cannabis in the loft, and sit on their sofa's in the street getting drunk, thats Leeds in a nutshell, as for school no one turns up so uniform is not an issue.
it's an old giptonians paradise.
