Owdcodger.
I hope these facts interest you
In the 1970's you could see a dentist, you could get a doctors appointment very quicly, you could get a hospital bed without lying on a trolley for hours, you could get an operation a lot quicker, asylum seekers and immigration were not a problem, the pubs and clubs were vibrant, housing was nowhere near the mess it is in today, drug abuse was nowhere near the problem it is today.
So yes. I would say they were good times compared with today
