Remember the 60s

A man on the moon; a supersonic airliner; England winning the World Cup: all three are events that took place in the Swinging Sixties, a decade that also saw more changes in the social and cultural fabric of the world than any before or since. The Beatles transformed the face of music and were far from the only innovators, while in fashion hemlines went mini, maxi and all points in-between. It was the era of the pop festival, the permissive society, pirate radio and political scandal. Sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll were seemingly everywhere as the post-war restrictions of food, clothes and petrol rationing and national service were forgotten. It was time to let your hair down - having first grown it beyond the collar - and have a good time. If you can remember the 60s, they say that you weren’t there!
