When I married my second OH in 1996, I moved into his house, which he'd not long bought and it was like stepping back into the 1970's. Think orange shag pile carpets, a sunken conversation 'pit' in the living room (we used to do the conga around it at parties) brown curtains, pine ceilings, in fact pine everywhere. It was awful but he loved it! Six months later, most of it was gone, I just couldn't live with it.
Hubby's horrible sister still lives in a 70s nightmare. Pine cladding, avocado kitchen units , pale blue bathroom suite. She's not changed her hairstyle ( I use the term loosely ) since the 70s either
Came to London from NZ in 1971 and was introduced to spam as meat in Toad in the Hole by our 2 English flatmates! Salad was tasteless lettuce leaves with vinegar as the dressing. The strikes of winter 1971/1972 we would just get in for 6.30pm, starving and off would go the electricity until 9.30. Luckily we had a gas stove.
By 1973 I was wearing Oxford Bags and tight jumpers and of course those great platform shoes (we were told that we would have curvature of the spine) and the miniest skirts - even in those cold winter mornings standing on the front of the platform for the train.
I loved every minute of it! T-Rex, Glitter, Bowie ... now that was music!
You sound like my mum! Shes always going on about the amazing Mary Quant tights she wore and the mini dresses she made from Liberty patterns. Spam Toad ITH sounds utterly grim!

Yes, I’m sure a conversation pit lined in deep shag carpet was intended just for conversation...🤔

Does she have Artex ceilings, as well?
Oh yes, and big patterned carpets which even our Grannies would hate as too old fashioned
The old Victorian cottage we bought a few years back, was a tardis of 1970s horrors. Avocado bathroom suite, complete with wall mounted ashtray being the main highlight.
