Were you a Mod or Rocker!!!!! I was a Mod I remember going to The Scene, The Discoteque and Whisky A GO GO and The Macabre in the 1960's did you go to any discos in London!. What are your memories.

my hubby was a mod. when we meet his pride and joy was his lambretta, soon made him sell that.... sam x

I was in to Rock n Roll music (teddy boys) seen Showaddywaddy live and Shaken Stevens but my husband is a Biker with the motorbike

hello my husband sister was a mod! he used to tell me about all the mad parties they used to have at his dads house, when his sister invited all her mates round, he said neighbours always complained because there was always about 50 to 100 scooters parked down roads!

Dad was a rocker!! Quadrophenia is one of the best films ever!

A Mod - with my reefer jacket, grey denim skirt, stripey Tshirt and big wrist watch, along with the Cathy McGowen hairdo!! That's brought back a few memories. Jay

My hubby was a Teddy Boy....Drape Jacket, drain pipe jeans, DA haircut the works. My Dad was horrrified and asked if he had any 'normal' clothes. Happy memories. Beryl x

i was a mod but in the 80s revival period. not a 'proper' mod coz im too young! lol!

I was also a revival mod in the 80s............Fishtail parkers, black and white herringbone skirts, and two tone blouses, oh those were the days. We often went on scooter runs to Brighton and Blackpool! Lib:))

I was a true 60s mod, had the best time ever. Shirley Ann.

Another ex-Cathy McGowan clone here. I dressed like her as far as possible - long hair, white tights, 'granny' shoes, 'granny print' or Tattershall check dresses in the summer and paisley print wool dresses or grey flannel, black or red tartan skirts in winter, etc. Trousers had to be flared, jackets and coats tailored. Mary Quant was Queen. My mother was very strict about the clothes I wore, and she insisted she wouldn't buy me what she called 'rubbish'. We'd go out window-shopping, and I drooled over fashions in Chelsea boutiques, but hardly ever won. I had huge rows with her over skirt lengths and me wanting a reefer jacket and a black poloneck jumper. She said I was too youhg to wear black! LOL I remember lots of girls I knew having tailored mohair suits. I wasn't allowed one, but she did buy me a long, bottle green leather coat and a fur one later on. When I started work in 1967, I bought myself a beige suede trenchcoat on the last day of Harrods sale. It had been reduced to a decent price, and it looked lovely till it got dirty. What a waste of money! Eventually, I took to making my own clothes, but by then things had gone 'hippy', so that was an influence later on, as was Biba. I went dancing in London nightclubs - The Flamingo, Marquee and 100 Club were favourites, and Le Macabre coffee bar was an experience in itself. The frothiest cappucino ever, Dionne Warwick singing 'Walk On By' on the jukebox, a pair of hazel eyes across the coffin-shaped table - and I was a gonner! LMHO Those were the days! CB >|<

Definately a Rock Chic........... For all of one date anyway.......when I found out I'd been taken to a cellar club where they were passing purple hearts around under the tables.............I Rocked off home rapid....... Lin XX

Mods definatly both of us,husband then boyfriend had a Lambretta scooter with loads of lights on back and front,with chrome exras all over,took hours to polish

O.M.G. will you all leave me alone!!!! You are all much too young for me. That was my childrens era. Deanna X :-0((((

Definitely a Rocker. Jeans, Sweater or Tee Shirt and a Leather Jacket. And a pair of Winklepickers from Teddy boy days.

Do you remember going to The Lyceum at The Strand, when I left school myfirst job was at Ludgate Circus we used to get a bus to the strand and go to The Lyceum in our lunch break.

I was a rocker, loved going on the bikers week ends, loud music and plenty of booze, oh those were the days so care free, you could trust the ones you went away with. :) Bev

Yes Joyce, I too loved being a mummy. Deanna X
