The boards are either dry and bare, or varnished.


Which is what we had back in the 50s and 60s.


That was the point ;-

I see floppy 80's hairdos on the teenagers again (half the secondary
school walks past my house of a morning and afternoon).

Flares seem to have gone again, but skinny trousers are back - mostly on
hipsters. Not to mention Grizzly Adams beards.


Hotpants seem to be randomly back (hooray).



Still waiting for beehive hair and some major afros.

What else is there that hasn't been around yet? Horn rimmed glasses -
could be the next hipster thing...
