Hey cats and kittens we’re getting on our time-travelling Vespa and scooting way back to October 1973 and the groovy pedestrianisation of Carnaby Street – in fact we can ride all the way along it because it’s only closed to four-wheeled vehicles, ha!

London’s hippest clothes emporiums rejoiced as a massive £60,000 was invested in an ‘asphalt carpet’ that enabled shoppers to mooch around without the fear of being squashed by manic taxi drivers or white van man (did they have white van men back then?) but still needed to dodge anyone on two wheels, and presumably fashion conscious Reliant Robin drivers too.
