Were you a Mod or a Rocker?

[caminito]

Remember hot pants and knee high boots

  I remember them vividly   

[Dottie1943]

Remember the hooped petticoats, bending over was a nightmare for those standing behind us. 

[Gennaio]

Yes Dottie, and I used to rinse mine in sugar water, so they were really stiff. 

[Dottie1943]

Then the iron would go black on the bottom, my brothers hated me for that!

One was a Teddy boy with the DA, creepers and drainpipes, the other could not make up his mind bless him.

[Gennaio]

Too right Dottie, remember having to frantically scour the iron before my mother saw it.

My brother was at boarding school and came home on exeats every 3/4 weeks, threw off his uniform and dressed to impress, he moaned like mad that he didn't have transport, and I used to lend him my car, an old Morris minor with (and I still have it), a bath tap I fixed to the front of the bonnet. He sometimes gave me petrol money, or took his sister out for dinner, or the flics, etc.

I guess I was a ROCKER with a wonderful Norton Dominator throbbing between my legs

[Angelo]

I had a foot in both camps, my cousin had a Norton Dominator and I had a scooter.
I must admit the birds in the mod camp were better. So thats where I usually ended up.

A Rocker - and rode pillion on some really great bikes. My sister, though, was a Mod - and her boyfriend had a scooter with all the 'tails' fluttering from his arial, and the fish-tail parka - the whole bit. He's a very successful accountant now - ah, for the carefree fun of the old days....
