I wasn't one, but I did have a parka. Which is basically because in the '70s, everyone did...

I had this kind of parka:

Someone put up a photo of these on Facebook. I'm surprised anyone else remembers them. Whenever I mention them, people just give blank looks. Clearly, they never truly lived as a child

Were they candies? I vaguely remember them...

I don't remember the coffin box but definitely remember the sweets. They tasted like rock hard chalk.

Probably were if this was around the time of rationing.

That reminded me of this novelty money box I had:

They were pretty much like shit alphabet sweets. I remember them being really hard too. Like teeth shatteringly hard

The band later said that Eurovision basically destroyed their career. I discovered them due to having Brian May produce their album - sometimes a big name association really does bring you in new listeners!

So that's what the people who watch over internet forums look like.

Friends! I like to remember friends! Right from the very begining of BS. People i dont see but remember and keep in my heart! My simple but important nostalgia!
