I can’t decide what to watch as the old grey whistle test from the 70’s is on BBC4, as a kid born of 1972 i remember sneaking down from my room and hiding in the under stairs cupboard outside the living room and listening/watching through the glass panelled door as my parents drank/smoked/danced round the room…they had guests round quite often, my dad was a skipper on the fishing boats so that says it all i guess……..…..listening to it now brings back vivid memories of being found hiding outside the door and getting dragged into the room to cries of “you should be sleeping” but it always turned out into an big adventure when you were a young kid, there was drunk folk shouting to each other, bright lights and loud music……….no wonder i was a rave kid in the early 90’s and beyond 😀
I’ll have to remind them of those early experiences when i go round for xmas dinner 😀
