1973

The IRA was hard at work on the mainland, Vietnam was drawing painfully to a close, Watergate was unfolding, the three day week began and the country's economy was going down the toilet. Clearly these were HALCYON DAYS as this correspondent to the Witney Gazette agrees

Sir, One of the best series on television finished a couple of weeks ago - Life on Mars.

Phillip Glenister was brilliant. It was interesting that once Sam Tyler returned to the present time, he found he preferred life in 1973. Didn't we all?

Back then, this was still a democratic country, and not a dictatorship ruled by the EU.

You could express an opinion without being called a racist, politically incorrect, or being sued.

Children could still have fun and play all the games we played as children.

Back then, common sense prevailed - unlike these days.

It would appear that lots of people preferred life back in the l970s which is why so many families are leaving this country to live permanently in France.
