But as always, there was an Aunt or a lady I would say late 50's who drank G & T and knew how to party, all the women had stopped eyeing one and another up from the corners of their eyes, and begin to relax they always talk about the olden days, but by now the attention is firmly on the aunt who decides to either wants to dance or have sing song... I watched the older women sinking lower in their seats, when I would be collecting glasses asI was doing constantly listening to their conversation, every now and again one women would tug at my arm asking me then begging me to tell the aunt to tone it down,NO WAY she was very entertaining, the more she drank the risker her performance got, normally ending up showing her underwear and an older bloke dragging her to sit besides him... the evening ended with a couple verses of Oh danny boy and the older man would do his solo of Kathleen...the women now in tears dabbing their eyes with hankies and being comforted by various off spring and the older man being carried out shoulder high to a waiting mini bus and off they would go. |

Blokes always wore shirts and ties on a saturday night when they were taking the mrs out and some still do.... when my sister still had the pub she asked OH amd I to work 1 sunday night as she her and BIL wanted to go out, she said Sunday nights are slow....so we did and off they went, what she failed to tell me was there had been a big Irish wedding in the area the day before, their pub was right behind the big RC church after sunday evening mass guest where they all gathered....I notices that all the women sat at one table and all the blokes at another, everyone in their sunday best, the older women never moved only to visit the ladies and drinks were brought in rounds and even then came to about £40/50, (good tippers) only men or older daughters went to the bar. All the men talked about work and all women talked about whoever wasnt there, they all drank grouse whiskey.. |

Yes, in the 70s it was the done think to wear a long dress (sometimes called a hostess gown would you believe) or a long skirt, if I wore a long skirt I would often wear a blouse that had a high maybe ruffled collar. It was lovely, you felt dressed up. Also the men would often wear a suit and tie. |
