Truth be told, people just got on with their lives and we were well rid of the union driven tyrrany in the 70s.Shadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777836927500400430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932024.post-147230006029862022007-04-27T22:51:00.000+00:002007-04-27T22:51:00.000+00:00I never saw this programme at all.I used to be out...I never saw this programme at all.<BR/><BR/>I used to be out at weekends - trying desperately to look like that bloke out of "Miami Vice", drinking too much "Reassuringly Expensive" Stella Artois and "birdin' it" as the quaint old saying went.<BR/><BR/>And I couldn't set a video recorder to save my life.<BR/><BR/>The programme is real dated but pretty darned good from what I can see of the DVD release.
