Disco and go-go girls? And 62 ½p? The UK had only gone decimal about 10 days a year before. We obviously hadn't got the hang of it yet Quite expensive that. My first gig was only 60p. And it was a proper headlining album tour!

Crunchie Frog? A Quebec band? A flavour in a Monty Python chocolate sketch.

For the Euro They don't want you back, it was genuinely discussed that a drunken Glaswegian in a London chippy should be covered by the exportation of terror act.

Glasgow's getting it's own independence. And there will be strict border controls. We're thinking of including Ayrshire and Lanarkshire as well I want you back. Back. Remember that?

12/6 in old money - bring back the farthing! My father used to buy me white mice for some reason. At Highdown Fair, they cost two farthing a piece.
