    Product placement hadn't been invented back then. This must have been the inspiration.

    Just think - most of those young ladies are old women now.

    Can't recall much as I was only about 4, just my old man humping huge plastic containers of water about the house, that doesn't sound right but I can't be arsed to change it.

    1975 was a scorcher but 1976, dear God, it was unbearable at work on occasions. The old referee, Denis Howell, became the most successful politician ever in my opinion that year. He was appointed minister of drought I think around September time, within days it started to rain and didn't bloody stop until about 1987😀

    I know I was sweating cobs in my nappies that summer. Terrible chafing, no doubt soothed with a liberal supply of Sudocrem

    Is this for real - or a bit of a spoof? Some of those girls will be getting ready to draw their pensions soon.

    Don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me, but I'm sure the Taff was virtually bone dry by Empire Pool? I was only 7 at the time, so could be wrong.
    We were lucky with the water rationing, because we were on the same water supply as Whitbreads brewery in Fairwater and they had to have water 24/7.
