This is true now I was 17 then though my waistline is still the same, I find the time has gone too fast, I used to laugh at the old guys as well, the music industry seems too serious these days

The ultimate growing old video RIP Fred Thanks Mate!!

I love his accent. I remember this in 1981. I was almost 17, and couldn't imagine what it would be like to ever be this old. We used to sing it to my Dad, taking the piss... Oh, where do the years go ? Now I'm the one zipping up the jeans, and the belly's in the way... And, horror of horrors, I have Vick in the medicine cabinet !!!
-
Not heard this for 30 years.....AS every one else say...OMG where have the years gone !!

Fred was one of very few real folk heroes. Around the time this single came out he was getting about a grand for every venue he played.
He was asked to play a pub in Poole in dorset near where i live, when he found out that it was a proper folkers pub he immeadiately agreed to do it for 200 quid for travelling and free beer.
Thats the kind of man he was, a man who loved music more than anything else. I wish id got to meet him more than once. Me and my dad still play the folker in his memory

I think it's time I commited suicide .

I wish TOTP was still like this! Perhaps it wouldn't have been cancelled.
