Things only women born in the '60s and '70s will understand.

If you’re a child of the 60s or the 70s, it does feel like the world was a more gentle and and simple place back when we were growing up.

One where we sat down and drank TAB around the formica dining tables and then settled down to watch Countdown on a Sunday night. It was also full of objects that are now pretty much extinct.  Join us for a happy wander down memory lane and see how many of these things you remember….
