Silver ( or almost balding ) Caravanners

[Val & Frank]

I have just read the post on Young Caravanners. Is it not time a club was formed for the over 50s under 60s vanners.We could have 60s style discos. With the Beatles,Stones, Hermans Hermits, Hollies,Beach Boys, Unit 4+2 etc. Because by the time I got to Woodstock there was half a million there, and the site was full.

Just going to the loft to look for my flares and the wifes mini!!!!

Great idea for you old people (I'm still in my youthfull 40s) however something puzzles me. I know that the 60's were a swinging time, with plenty of those recreational substances being used, but dont you think it's dangerous keeping flares (health and safety) in you loft? With respect to a Mini being kept up there too, perhaps thats the best place for the tin worm infested blighter!

 

[FrankandSue]

Put me down for membership! As an ex flower-child I think I would qualify.

[JamesFrance]

And the rallies could be in St Trop, Formentera and Cadaques.

Certainly brings back a few happy memories lol.

Unfortunately you said under 60, so that's us out.

 

[Val & Frank]

Hey James if you can remember St Trop from that era your in man.

BB on the beach before she got the animal thing. In fact in my original post I forgot the Animals, In the House of the Rising Sun.

For LOL

It's not the flares that are dangerous it's what's in the flares. Hey and the mini still fits HWMBO.

I was almost balding at the age of 25 and now I'm close to exceeding the age limit you set, Frank, but The Searchers, Moody Blues, Dave Clark Five, Kinks, The Spencer Davis Group (I was in Birmingham at the time), etc. still conjure up memories, so do I still qualify?

 

[Val & Frank]

Due to recent Goverment Legislation on Ageism.

Possibly the flares would now need to be supplied with an EEC warning about spontaneously combusting trousers

 

[Val & Frank]

[Val & Frank]

Hey John

I can throw the Cuban Heels out ( I found them with the flares )seeing so I grew to 6ft.

Val & Frank

 

[JamesFrance]

Hey Val & Frank,

Used to anchor our boat in the Baie des Canebiers, right by Bardot's House and see her in the market. Pity we all get older.

James

 

[NorfolkMike]

As age is only relitive why not just set up The Lost Youth C.C.

Then I can try the wifes kinky boots and not have to explain.

What about the Kinks? No one's mentioned them yet.

I'm not bald either, but qualify on age.

I've got quite a few kinks!!!

 

[Surfer]

Why make yourself feel older than what you are. Surely it is better to hang around with younger caravanners. a lot of them prefer the 60 -70s music anyway.

Frank, if what's in the Flares is still dangerous, all reverence to you man, just make sure you don't wave it about too much!

For us, I'm afraid the mini has been traded in for a maxi, but that's not a problem, there's just more to love.....

Oh, and "Summer Wine" was Nancy Sinatra, but you've got me with "Judy, Judy, Judy", too. Was it perhaps Al Green?

 

[Val & Frank]

Judy Judy Judy was by Johnny Tillotson

Tom Dooley was by the Kingston Trio on my LP anyway !!!

More than I can say was Bobby Vee, nearly right Lutz you get 9/10 Summer Wine was by Nancy, but she had Lee Hazlewood along for company.

Kept you all busy for an hour or so

need to be off now back in a while.

Val & Frank
