I remember traffic light lollies and cough candy twist. the very first LP I owned was the bee gees idea, dancing at my brothers wedding to once twice three times a lady. Our first home with living room, dining room, 2 bed, terraced cost £1200 and that was really pushing the boat out. The main bedroom was decorated in a chic shade of mauve, with matching carpet.
