    I'm sure the answer hasnt changed from any of the other times this has been discussed in other threads.

    Erm. That's a bit stupid. How can we go back to the 70's - only worse? It'll either be back to the 70's or it will be worse like the 1930's. Now they were much, much worse as everything was in black and white, no colour.
    Anyway what was wrong with the 70's? The music was far better, I had an Afro [probably look a bit silly now with a whiter shade of grey] and a Ford Capri - what more could any man want? Better still I was in my 20's - so my vote is for a Life on Mars return to the 70's! ;)
