Crusty White covered Dog **** on the pavement, what the hell was that about?!?!

I heard it was down to a bleaching agent in Bob Martin Conditioning tablets. No idea if it's true.

you used to mistake it for chalk ,while drawing out hopscotch for the girls

No, but I do remember picking some up and chucking it at some girls LOL

Computers were kept in an air-conditioned room

I was only discussing that last week with workmates.
It must have been a certain food they were feeding them.

Chappie!

I remember a girl I had a crush on bursting into tears when Elvis died.

I was 18 in 1984 and by then the 1st and 2nd waves of punk had changed mainstream attitudes.

A teenage pregnancy was hidden and not talked about.

In 1982 a girl in the fifth form was pregnant, she didn't have it easy, very few people had nice things to say about her.

Oh the white dog turd, that was WEIRD.

8 tracks for cars, remember them.

Veneer Panelled Games Consoles...

That was something that stood out from my very young youth.

I'm 20 so I don't remember as far back as some of those things.

I remember the "Pop Wagon" driving from street to street in the same style as an ice cream van would but selling proper glass bottles of Lemonade/Limeade/Cherryade etc. I think they were made by Ben Shaws and some by Bass. The best part about it was returning your empty bottles to him for a 10p refund.

Ahhhh nostalgia... it's not what it used to be.

I didn't know The Village People were gay until a couple of years ago, saw 'em on telly and laughed.

Gay wasn't talked about in them days, it was a man's world.

Don't tell me, you thought George Michael was straight as well? And I bet you watched the Club Tropicana video without realising right away.

I'm pretty young compared to many on here but I still remember when Snickers bars were called Marathons and Starbursts were called Opal Fruits - change is not always good.

When Michael Jackson looked black.

When gay meant happy.

When people spelt correctly.

When girls showing knees was deemed racy.

When I was a perma 90+% student at school.

When sports were not so commercialised and just good old sports.

When kids got slapped or got a clip round the ear (with a spatula if me) for something as trivial as saying a swearie.

Where teenagers and kids respected their elders.

Goold old days...

I'm only 23.

I'd always had my suspicions about Boy George, but yeah, George Michael was a major surprise.

I don't remember marathons but I do remember Opal fruits, they tasted so much nicer...


And I can remember white dog poo too.

(20 BTW)

I remember when children were actually child-like, not the raging hormonal, over weight 'pre-teens' they seem to have become. (I'm only 18 and it makes me sad to think that 7 year olds are asking for mobiles and not barbies and footballs.)
