https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-7581421/A-study-claim-1978-Britains-unhappiest-year-ROGER-LEWIS-says-rot.html
fucking brilliant for me- got me a suzuki AP50 ( red) found a couple of pubs where we could drink at 28P a pint; two or three birds on the go and made my transition from piunk music to the likes of Evelyn Champagne King - shame; Sylvestre- Might Real and getting into nightclubs where birds smelt nice as opposed to spat at you in punk clubs...
and I had three holidays in bournemouth
fucking superb year for me

I can remember mum taking myself and my sister to see Grease at Norwich Odeon and it was so busy all the smaller kids had to sit on the steps. No health and safety in those days!!

Got married to Mrs Iron on our first day back in the second division. Nipped out from the reception at 3:30 to find out how we were doing on the car radio. Four up against Notts County.
Thinks - "Straight back up then." Wrong.

Argentina World Cup - England not there thanks to Italy and Scotland f##king it up again
Great ITV World Cup theme and the ticker tape reception at Argentina games.
And Argentina 6 Peru 0, not suspicious at all

8 years old.
Parents moved us from Canvey Island to Harwich.
Everyone supported Ipswich which only made my defiant allegiance to the Hammers stronger.
That's about it.

I was six. Mum, Dad and me went on holiday to Blackpool, staying at the Norbreck Castle Hotel. Also Ron (one of Dad's fellow cabbie mates) and his bird Flo came along (she later dumped him when he refused to leave his Mum behind - he eventually fell out with the taxi trade and after his old lady passed away he became a bit fat shut-in that was eventually found very dead in an armchair after the neighbours called the police).
Can't say I remember all that much but there's a photo of me in the Pleasure Beach wearing a black Harrington and a Hulk mask.

First time I've thought about it for years, but I'm glad to see the hotel is still there - https://www.britanniahotels.com/hotels/the-norbreck-castle-hotel

Was a brilliant year for me, I was born in the December.
Mind you, I wasn’t due to be born until Feb 1979 - so maybe it wasn’t so great at first

Got into the mod scene in 78 and still into it now so a pretty special year for me.
