Don't remember using it or any body who really did. "Alright mate, got any gear ?" was the usual greeting in my day

As a teenager in '71ish, I had a top printed with the slogan Keep the Faith, done in a very artistic arch shape. I obviously thought I was the muts when i wore it (sad) Everywhere I went people

Did anybody actually say it, without sounding a complete canute?? only ever saw it written down-Dave Godin of course. "Right On" "Keep the Faith, brother" makes much more
It seems strange writing this, as I've just made a comment defending persons in baggy trousers and circle skirts, but here goes anyway.
The phrase makes me cringe, I won't pretend I've never said it, I'm sure I must have in the seventies, but I was a teenager. At that time I did think northern was a way of life and when I came back on the scene, I signed off with KTF occasionally, but now the phrase has transcended. It's not so much a phrase now as a catchphrase ''good game, good game'', and I really am starting to visualise Brucie using it in that dancing programme.
So when someone says 'Keep the Faith' to me, am I supposed to make the little fist salute and wobble it back and forth in a show of solidarity, I'm so confused. What do the rest of you think, am I the only one who finds it cringe-worthy, do any of you still use it yourselves? What does it actually mean.
Please advise, because I think it's time it went into room 101. Over to you
