Did anyone else record the hit parade from the radio at the weekend, then spend hours writing out the words to all the hits? We had old fashioned tape recorders where the fast forward/play/go backwards controls were on a button you had to clunk forwards/backwards. It was so hard to pause it at the right place. We were so happy when they brought out the Smash Hits magazine which had all the lyrics in. Learning those words was so much more fun than doing homework!

My sister and I had a poster of Donny on the back of our door, and had to hang our dressing gowns over it as the eyes followed you round the room!!! Of course, we couldn't just take it down like sensible people would! I'm sure I like paper piecing so much because of the weekly cutting out paper dolls from the back of my Bunty comic too.

MY favourite: the moody Elvis from the film Flaming Star. By the the time the seventies came I was into Bowie and Roxy Music but a bit too old to have pictures on the wall by this stage!

I used to dance in the corner to TOTP too, dad said he could do so much better than Pans People and proceeded to dance around the front room pumping his arms up in the air until he managed to put his fist through mums brand new glass light shade. Us kids creased up laughing because it made a change from us getting in trouble for dancing around the front room and dad was in the dog house for ages. Those definitely were the days.
