Looks like a colored girl in 1970, mentioned how she fiddled in the local youth club with the skins, watching spaghetti westerns (????) at the youth club for one etc.

I do recall girls in 68 and 69 wearing coats like that, mainly in herringbone tweed, but by the end of 69 they had gone.

Gentlemen and lady (that's you, Suzie).

I have now trawled through the whole of this thread. I have more than 57 thousand words of notes (102 pages). At present it's all jumbled about and my next task is to sort them into some kind of order.

I'll be PMing several of you asking for your real name if I only have your screen name, and maybe asking for some clarification of various points.

Anyhow we are now one step closer to the book...

We have a long way to go yet, Alex.

I intend to take two weeks off - I need a break.

One question before I go. Occasionally in this thread we have let the odd 'bluey' out, but usually we have rearranged the letters (e.g. 'fcuk') or inserted an asterisk. Believe me the few obscenities we have used have been really mild compared to my recollection of our language back in the day. This is 2011 and I believe that for the book we can safely restore the obscenities as they would normally be typed/said. What do you all think?

To me it just looks I guess almost dirty, or old. I was sure someone would like them. I prefer a very light tan, like a sand color which I've seen referred to as stone on here I believe. Brown is also a nice color for trousers too, I might have to buy JtG's Sta Prest is that color...
