1960s/70s rock band picture quiz!!!



Well, I said to my husband, I said, I don't think it's a very good idea for a blog post, the audience for it would be strictly 50 and over, probably having been or still being a bit hippy-ish, with a silly sense of humour.  Kinda limited. He said, "well, it just entertained us for half an hour, didn't it?"


So here it is, for daft people who will never see 49 again - my picture quiz... 


Name the 1960s/early 1970s rock band (answers at end!)

Eleven signs that you're not just GETTING old - you've GOT THERE!


  • At last, you understand why your aged parents like watching Miss Marple and Dad's Army...


  • You go to do something like put the washing on, and discover you actually put it on about five minutes ago, though you have absolutely no recollection of doing so.


  • You fancy a cup of tea and a toasted teacake when you come back from shopping.


  • You think back fondly to the times of no internet and mobile phones, and tell people that it was much better, then.


  • Instead of leaping forward with a bright smile and your best pose, you now avoid cameras.  And mirrors.


  • You try on the sexy high heels you haven't worn for some years, and wonder why on earth you ever put yourself through it.


  • Since you last went to a wedding, you've been to at least five funerals.


  • A younger friend shows you the new 'retro' style she can do on her new camera - and it makes her photos look just like all those ones in your photo album, of you when you were her age...


(and you actually have photo albums, too...)

  • You are unaffected by pop culture, fashion and social trends as you've seen it all before, and know it's all just cyclical, anyway.



  • All the actors you fancy are at least 45...
  • You've smiled and nodded to at least half of these, and have your own to add, too!
