Dog poo everywhere. You couldn't go anywhere without managing to tread in the stuff at some point. Come to think of it that continued into the 80s and 90s in the UK, but it is something I particularly remember from my childhood in the 70s.

"Poo" was only used to describe s**t when speaking to young children.

Big collars, Elvis, Abba and disco music

We had something very similar to that, but it wasn't a wall paper though. It was some object or other, maybe a thermos? Whatever it was, I remember that pattern. I love a good nostalgic blast from the past, especially welcome after some sad days.

By the way, good to see you back, Lego Master!
