Until one day someone having a phone call heard the distinctive sound of a chiming clock in the background. There was only one person in the village who had a chiming clock so she proceeded to tear strips off this woman for being so damn nosey.
I used to wear mini skirts (not so very mini then) & bell bottoms (never again, bloody things got in the way) but never had a lava lamp. Had a corduroy suit though at one point & boots.
Lilith, I have to ask what did bell bottoms get in the way of 
Hula hoops, plastic sandals, Davy Crockett hats - most kids had one or more of those then, not to mention a pocket knife; I think mine had a pink pearl finish handle.
