The best decade??
I have lived through many and I can say, with some authority, that the 1970-1980 was the best decade in history!!
For those who weren't born ....... it was GREAT!!!
The Tories had yet to destroy the country ........

I agree with what you say about that decade PSL, but what has really happened is that Billy Boy and his rather queer cronies have dragged this once great country down until it is threatening to go down the tubes completely. Just what they want of course in deference to their corrupt Eu masters.

Cant really comment as I was only young through the 80s but from watching TV docs and what not I would say 80s would have been great to have been an adult but 70s for music and 90s for cars!!

The 90's for me.
I'd just started College, and met who are now my bunch of mates.
Some of the best cars came out in the 90's. Escort Cosworth for one.
Going to Raves with all my mates.
Lost my Virginity.
Past my Driving test (Crashed Dad Sierra Cosworth)
Was out most nights.
