Enjoyed hearing this last night at the Keystone, Ray. "Sony this and sony that" is one of my favourite lines ... plus scrubbing out the old Cortina with toilet cleaner, of course.

Thanks Yvonne and Vicki - all aboard the nostalgia bus.
You have a point Yvonne with the last verse - but I still like it there!

Ah the beauty of nostalgia is we can edit our memories.

I like the pace of this, so resplendant with sharply penned images.

I prefer it without the last verse since the title has already established the era.

The seventies, as the line in the song goes I remember it well. I am still waiting for 1970 ten to come round !

Yes, I got the Billy Joel rhythm too, Stu.

Enjoyed the poem, Ray. Great reminder of the 70s. I still miss them!

am i the only one who started singing 'we didnt start the fire' after the first verse?

like this ray, its hecticity (must be a word surely?) sits against the sedate and stately remembrance.

I like the rhythm in this and plenty of the images, but (and you know there's almost always a but with me) - Robinson Crusoes? Don't get that. Did I miss a glaring 70's reference?

Robinson Crusoes and Ouzos, you get respect for those two!.
This brings back reminders of the tragic Fairport Convention road accident to me.
