That room could have been my mum and dads front room from the 70′s, the settee, the fireplace, the TV and look closely the old fashioned cabinet style radio and mono record player with one of the “kids” stereos on top, hmmm recently had a party perhaps ? I’m going to guess at 1978 somewhere around Birmingham, Thats mum in the middle with her two sons, the older one on the right has done some time and the younger one on the left has a job in a factory, the young mum, hmmm not sure if she is the mums daughter or she could be the older sons wife, I reckon the pic was taken on a Saturday morning sometime in the summer of 78.
Maybe because it’s because I’m Scottish and therefore my radar is strong but, for some reason, I *knew* this photo was British before I even spotted the submitter was one “John in the UK”.
I am not British, but as soon as I saw the photo, without seeing who submiited it, I knew it was British. Maybe it is the people, the clothes, the furniture, or all three, but there is just something about this photo that screams “BRITISH!”
The bloke on the left is wearing a British Army style pullover. For me that was the signal it was probably a British family perhaps other people picked up on that even sub-consciously?

Have i got any of this right John in the UK.
Mart
As soon as I saw this it reminded me of my grandma’s. She had a similar fire place and a vinyl settee.
I’m loving this photo
this looks like either a Diane Arbus shot… or a 60′s album cover….remember album covers guys?
True
My name is Inigo Montoya. You took an awkward picture of my family. Prepare to retake that.
Best comment ever.
Does anyone else think the baby looks exactly like Steven Tyler?
Yes!
oh God, yes!
Does anyone know where Steven Tyler was nine months before this photo was taken? Hmm…..
Rick James & The Mary Jane Girls….the latter years
The Royle Family lost pilot episode!
This is exactly why the UK is not considered the fashion capitol of Europe.
“Capital”. A capitol is a building.

Album cover, late 60′s to early 70′s
About to say that it looks like an album cover from that time frame.
The kid’s just excites because Tony Orlando is in the house, though everyone else could care less.
The expression on the baby’s face reminds me of the “dramatic hamster” on YouTube!
The day Jimmy “Baby Face” Castellano’s cover is blown.
You see how much better we all looked in the 70s than in the 80s or 90s? You see? YOU SEE?!?
Oh, Finster! Oh, Finster, baby!
LOL! Too funny!! But you have to say it in the Bugs Bunny voice!
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! The hat rounds out the whole look very nicely.
Whatchu talkin’ ’bout, Willis?
“WHAT YOU LOOKING AT!??! You want a piece of me?!!?”
Haha, this is awesome!
Patiently waiting for a good time to arrive.
See! Nobody puts baby in a corner!
HA!! sooo funny!!!
