1970 .... and in January the Beatles finished what was to be theyre very last recording session as a group.
The Isle of Weight concert was a big event with the Who... the Doors... and Jimi Hendrix... sadly Jimi died 3 weeks later .
In June Ted Heath became Prime Minister... the Tories took over the reins of power and were determined to set the country on the straight and narrow after all that socialist, fabian nonsense with Harold and his pipe.
Over in Vietnam Nixon ordered the invasion of Cambodia extending that tragic war.
Oh Calcutta opened in London... perhaps a signal that the 1970s were going to be the decade of sleaze... whether Mary Whitehouse liked it or not !
The sleaze theme continued when the Sun started the topless page 3 daily feature.... Steph
Rohn became the first ever page 3 pin up girl
New programmes on TV were
The Goodies
On the Buses
Six wives of Henry 8th
Look Mike Yarwood
Queenies Castle
Catweazle
Perhaps the biggest tragedy that year was a tidal wave in East Pakistan that took the lives of 150,000 people.

I would have been 7 that year so still in the infants. I guess I would have been playing with Ideal's Zeroids robots, Billy Blastoff (now then, just where did they go?) and the mighty Action Man, and reading a heady mix of TV21 and Pippin! I guess. The year before we'd moved to a new neighbourhood (in the same time) so I would have had new friends and the bit of land that has been an old people's home for years now was just a swampy wood in 1970. Boy, what I'd give for some pics of friends and places we'd play in back then.
