A leaked labour manifesto says that Jeremy Corbyn will take us back to the good old 70s.
Nationalising industries and giving huge power to the union's.
Plus also he wants a nuclear free world.
The last bit we all would like but you have to tell the other countries that.
Also there will a no deal brexit plus no cap on migrants,
Welcome to the good old days when labour and the union's ruled this land or was it ruined this land.
We all have our own opinions on that I am sure.
This is just mine .

I had a great time in the 1970s !

Bring back flares ! :Jump:

First car... Hillman Avenger... brand new company car in 1971. I was just coming up to 20 years old. Great car. Happy days.

Next car ( company) ... a new Hillman Hunter.

Next one (company)... MK 3 Cortina ! :Rasp:

By 1978 had bought my own house and worked my way up to an XJ6 4.2 .... and a genuine 14mpg.:cwm24:
