  2. OK by me. Picture 6 is dreamy.
    I think hanging out was more enjoyable in the U.S. No porches, dens or stoops in England so the hanging was generally on street corners or in the municipal park in wind and horizontal rain. Not T shirt-friendly.

  3. Yeah, all these photos are from flickr, mostly people posting photos of their youth. i am obsessed with finding all of them!

    english 70's teenagerhood is definitely thought of as less freewheeling- but what about "brickfield nights" by the boys? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9e4V3zYLUg
