Don’t give your 1960s fun-loving mum rubbish birthday cards!
“People think that the 60s was cool and swinging,” recounts Dorothy, a cranky 80-year-old mother who grew up in the 1960s.
“I can tell you that there’s nothing cool about wearing a polyester miniskirt on a cold winter’s day - it was frigging freezing. My knees were like a bag of frozen chicken thighs from Lidl.
“And the only time I remember swinging was from a chandelier after I took some LSD at aunty Jean’s 21st birthday party. I still can hear the plates smashing as I crashed onto the dining table.
“Those go-go boots were lethal too. I went head-over-heels running after the 29 bus when a heel snapped off. The tumble ruined my beehive, but at least my pet gerbil popped out as he got lost in there the week before. I thought he’d gone forever. Poor bugger.
“You could say I’ve seen and done a lot, so nothing fazes me,” says the tough old cookie. “So bring on some proper funny birthday cards.”
