Remember chicken in a basket late sixties early seventies.
It was all the rage in pubs and clubs across the land.
It was a chicken leg in a basket.
Same as a chicken leg on a plate but cost more cos it was chicken in a basket.
Who thinks this shit up?

Comb overs ... you gotta admit there's some fantastic ones out there!
Very creative as the parting gets down to ear level.
The use of hair spray so when the wind blows the whole thing lifts up like the lid on a can of beans!
Will they ever make a come back?
