Now Mods were a different matter all together...and there was a resurgence of the Mods in the late 70's early 80's with the popularity of 2 tone and ska...they could never out run us on their upside down wheelbarrows!!!!!!!!!

You wouldn't have attacked hippies though - that would have been like attacking Neil out of 'The Young Ones'! Sounds like scenes from ‘Quadrophenia’!

You wouldn’t have attacked hippies though – that would have been like attacking Neil out of ‘The Young Ones’!

If you were running from Les and a gang of Greasers, a bunch of hippies would not be my first choice.

Or maybe I'm so old I forgot. The only hippies I know live in a community in Queensland called Nimbin. They're largely self-sufficient. It’s too early and I was too young to remember!
