I'm in that age group. I don't vote like that

Cuba is a Socialist country and one of the poorest in the world suffering under a 60+ year economic blockade by the richest country in the world.

Guess which one has better healthcare, life expectancy, literacy, lower infant mortality and every type of crime.

It ain't the USA.

Haha. Maybe you would like tea if you prepared it properly. Just a thought.

Ah! That makes sense. I remember Coe and Ovett racing but wasn't aware of the alternative flag details. Thanks for clarifying.

The UK didn't boycott the Moscow Olympics. The government wanted them to but the athletes in the main refused.

Spoken not spoke

Or tell them you were wrong and so teach them about honesty and respect

Yes, I'm not trying to say things were better in general in the 70s, only that progress hasn't been linear and there have been blips along the way. Society was more caring back then. Also my recollection is that most households did have a car, just not 2 or 3.

I was at that game. Remember it well. The ref telling the crowd the game wouldn't be abandoned was the only thing he got right all afternoon.

In the 70s you could see your GP easily, everyone had an NHS dentist, hospital waiting lists were not a problem, the roads weren't as crowded, all the utilities and railways were in public control and people weren't trying to scam you all the time. Not everything is better now. I was born in 1958

Cut benefits, cut minimum wage, raise retirement age, means test pensions, get rid of the NHS.

Why are you voting for Farage?

Haha. We'll see

Respect, from a Leeds fan. After Leeds, Newcastle is my favourite English city. Great people and a great place.

Her dad played many times for Leeds. She grew up in Leeds. Her parents still live there. I suspect she's just reading the script and trying to be impartial.

You don't have to drive perfectly to pass the test. Just be safe. The rest is much closer to reality than most people think

Until it goes wrong and you're presented with a huge bill to fix something the car needn't have in the first place. Also it gives you less control in snowy conditions.

There are 4 uniteds in the premier league. 2 more in the championship.

56 not 66 I think

I've only just become a follower and seen this post. If anything, that scar adds to your interest and beauty, I find it fascinating like the rest of you, even more so when I learned the reason. Shame I'm in the UK or I'd be tempted to ask to come and visit you.

What would happen for the first three years when a car doesn't need an MOT?

Trouble is we've got some tough fixtures coming up so we really need something from this.

Call it the Daily Fail, or perhaps the Daily Heil, but whatever name you give to the thing it really is an odious little rag.

No such thing as a three door marina. They were two door and had a boot

Lazy reporting. You are actually exempt from the need to wear a seat belt 'when carrying out a manoeuvre that includes reversing' not just 'when reversing'. There is a significant difference.

I think it is black tulip. If the photo was taken in 1972 it couldn't have been aconite. That only came out the following year, replacing black tulip.

Aconite is a fantastic colour. But I'm biased, my MGB is aconite.

I read my collection of 70s and 80s car brochures in bed before going to sleep

Parking on the pavement may not be illegal, but driving on the pavement is. How do they get there, other than by being driven onto the pavement?

Of course it was actually called 'miniMETRO' then, capitalised on the tailgate as I have here.

I'm starting to think the metro was the first. I'm pretty sure they had it from launch, on all models except the base one.
