I would have liked to be a few years older when the punk thing took off.
I would have totally embraced the whole look instead of just hanging on the periphery with my ratted hair and over-use of eyeliner.

Not to mention have attended the gigs.

one of my brother's best friends
was bang into it all at precisely the right time and had one of those Destroy straitjacket tops like John Rotten had. He kept it in his mum's loft and thought he'd reclaim it a few years ago.

'Oh that? I cut it up and used it for dishcloths because it wall all ripped up, love. Didn't think you'd want it'

Un. Lucky.

I recently bought a Dead Kennedys t-shirt.
Then I remembered taking the piss out of my mum when she was my age now because she borrowed my Bauhaus t-shirt to wear.

Oooops!
You’d think people would have learnt by now that leaving priceless things in parents lofts is a bad idea! I have to tell my dad every month not to throw out an architects drawing board which is worth over £2,000 that he is holding for me in his garage.

I fail to see how a drawing board could be worth that much
unless it's made of something valuable

It was given to me by my granddad
Who was given it by his granddad. Its worth a lot of money because its old and made from some sort of fancy wood and has proper weights to tilt the board. When I buy a house with a spareroom for all my art crap I'll be taking it away! :)

Exactly
the only problem is the size of it! Its hooooge, hence the reason its in the garage, it wouldn't fit in the loft! Hehe
