Return to the 80s

[zimzum42]

Well, according to the Thatcherites, the 80's were a paradise on Earth were they not? So absolutely nothing to woory about.

The 80s were not paradise on earth by any means, but it was a necessary change to rid us of the scourge that was the likes of Scargill and eventually muppets like kinnock......

My family left the country cos they felt it was going to be a difficult change, look like we could be in for more of the same now, cos we're going to have to do something to tackle chavvery, and it could be messy......

A can of Quatro, a fruit Club and The Adventure Game on the telly. Magic.

A nice glass of Um Bongo and an afternoon in front of the telly playing "Frogger" on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

Nah, sixpence bought two packets of Love Hearts or a pack of Shaggy Baccy (some sort of Pirate themed sweet that looked like tobacco) whilst I watched "Time Tunnel".

Oh, sorry, wrong decade (late 60's, early seventies). You lot must be spring chickens.

We had one of those in the vending machine at work recently - I thought it'd gone the way of the dinosaurs!

On the downside, if we revert to the 80s, I'll not get served in pubs anymore.

[justAl]

chocalate bars are not the only things that seem to have shrunk since the 80's. Oh well, that's life !!

Snickers are becoming Marathons again, Starburst are going back to being Opal Fruits, stagflation is looming and there's a loony Tory in charge (of London anyhow ). Where will it all end?

I blame Ashes to Ashes.

Great, my hairline will move forward again. I can get out the black dye, the crimpers and sit in the dark listening to The Sisters and Bauhaus.

Hmmm...... Wheres my copy of 'Floodland'...
