1974 was a bad time to be alive

[Humph Warden Bennett]

You wanted to be allowed back into school?

I cannot think of anybody who had the slightest regret about leaving school, or anybody who has ever wanted to go back.

FTR I left school in 1976, when the Disco era was beginning, and 1974 was just a hideous memory.

(Think "Seasons in the Sun", and then think "Fly Robin Fly".)

I liked 'Seasons in the Sun'.

I wore floaty tops, jeans and long skirts and had 'pre-Raphaelite hair' (was told that). When I cut my hair I wore the same plus mini skirts and boots. Wasn't a slave to fashion though, always had a bit of a style of my own. Liked Joni Mitchell.

Not a bad year to be fourteen!

[Nearly Sane]

Joni Mitchell is a nonpareil.

[Rhiannon]

I think that 1974 was an ok time for me to be alive on reflection, given the alternative.

[Robbie]

Joni Mitchell is a nonpareil.

Yes!

Yup, being dead didn't appeal to me then.

[Aruntraveller]

Joni Mitchell is a nonpareil.

This cannot be said often enough.

When I was 16, I was quite concerned to be allowed back the next year so that I could do some A-levels.

I remember being quite choked up when i walked out of it for the last time.

Same here except that happened when I walked in for the first time, I had to give him my lunch money before he would let go!

I was 24, and gave birth to our second daughter in February of that year.
