    Well, it was the 'gay shirts' that gave then away evidently! :o :roll eyes: I think 99.9% of 70's shirts were 'gay' actually. :D

    You probably just missed it. It was shown in school in the 70s.

    Definitely 'gay' shirts in the 70s. Horrible clothing IMO.

    I did like camp 70s sitcoms though.

    Are You Being Served still made me titter when it was re-shown recently.

    IMHO, up till the 90s and early 00s when everything was still open and discussed - that sweet spot was a lot easier to navigate as an autistic bloke...

    Thinking about the domestic violence and abuse we saw in some subcultures - GGM was actually looking at it in sitcom while we could still talk about it freely - in the 90s...
