None of you get it, in 1971, when you're 10 this is the only chopper

I was only born that year. So bike technology was vastly improved, along with the introduction of color photography and the internal combustion engine...

Yep. Had one. Bought it second hand for 5 pounds, lots of duraglit and a couple of spray cans and a custom speedo later, managed 40 mph down Cossall Hill. Wasn’t scared at all. I should have been….

Yeah, but Red Lobster, Taco Bell and Applebies are the word.

I guess...congratulations on a Top 30 finish are in order?

First sentence I got out of my now-19-year-old son was "Taco Bell is yucky dog food."

It’s all a bit subjective. I’d put Denmark and Austria near the top, certainly above France. Proper US cooking (not McDonalds) is actually really good.

Yeah...not sure who's "responsible" for this list. I guess Tex-Mex and "American" Chinese are part of the US food scene? Hard to argue with Italy in the top spot...but I think everything after is up for debate.

Well almost certainly but nothing to trouble just about any food.....

True. I just like precise definitions where I can get them.

Colour photography hadn't arrived in kettering in 1971 but my dad did havea V4 Corsair so I'll give you that one.

It was also 1971 when 20 a side football was normal and girls were allowed to play after a new kid moved in to the street

He asked if he could play which was obviously a yes, then, can my sister play

A unananimous no, sorry, no girls

Then, the life changing moment

She's got big boobs and they bounce when she runs

Rugby scrum

Yes, she can play

I just found this photo of my first Lotus taken in 1974, it was my first car with a bit of performance.
