5/15 Terrible, don’t know owt about year 1978 in America, reest didn’t know which one made wrong guesses. Back here would have been a busy year, 1st son would have been one so life took on a dramatic change from being a full time worker to being a 24hr stay at home mum, happy but very different change in circumstances.
