This is a question Things we do to fit in

"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."

What have you done to fit in?

Hair
Late 1970s; and everyone has Punk/New Wave hair - spiky, rough-cut, stiffened with sugar water (no poncy gel then); scary, aggressive, impossibly cool hair.

So I take my fine, wavy locks and try to make them harden the fuck up. With hairspray, sugar water, backcombing, and - AARGH!! - my Mum's curlers and hairdryer.

Fill the rest in; I'm not delving any further into that memory to tell you what I looked like...

Yup!
The late seventies wasn't kind to people who had delicate hair.

You could have just shaved it all off.
