Fashion - 1970s. From bloomers to briefs. Bloomers, droopy drawers, passion killers, knickers, panties, briefs - no matter what they have been labelled in the past 100 years, women's unmentionables have always done vital undercover work in the wonderful world of fashion,. Demure or daring, naughty or nice practical or fun, all these things have had their place in this century of undie-wear. There were baggy bloomers and rib-crusher corsets of the 1880s which hoisted bosoms to wondrous heights and made a girl think twice about sitting down. Next came the excruciating waist-nippers of the 1900's that had maidens striving for an 18-inch middle and dropping like flies in a faint to get one. On to the high-kicking 1920s and it was boop-boop-a-doop elasticated knicker-legs and down with the bust in a flat-as-a- pancake bra. Come 1940 things were looking decidedly sexy with saucy oo-la-la camiknickers that made mum fear her daughter would catch her death of cold. Then in the 60s the squeeze was on bottoms with wriggle-on roll-ons that were the despair of every enthusiastic bottom-pincher. And finally we come to 1977 and the freedom-loving liberated girls who have made brief-is-beautiful the rule of the day. 1977 keeping down to the bare essentials. November 1977

Clothing. Bright flares. The revolution is over. Long live trousers! Now that they are here to stay, trousers have gone all wide and cheeky. Sumptuous in crep, brocade, satin. Flaring really wide from the knee, or ending in cuffs. The bell bottom hip hip hoorays. On top go slinky blouses, glittery jackets, or a demure chemise top. Like the ones we show here. All in the shops now making autumn swing. October 1972

Farmers are 6 weeks behind time. Every hour counts, but the ground is not yet quite fit, for highly mechanised work, It is still heavy in parts. On Sir Peter Greenwell's estate at Caterham they are falling back to old time sowing by broadcasting. Bill Cowie, farm manager has got his men broadcasting spring wheat by hand as he learned it himself years ago. In two or three days time if this weather holds the machines will come into their own again, but there isn't an hour to lose. Bill says as long as he can get the corn in the ground he will gamble on a late summer to reap it. It's no use bemoaning the weather and if you don't put the corn in it won't grow and so he has 3 of his old hands sowing from early morning till late at night. Each man can sow 8 acres a day, and he says, who knows it may be wet in two or three days. April 1947
