I'm old enough...

[over_head_cam]

...to remember old money, black and white telly, 5 star petrol etc etc. But the time that I really remember is the early 80's (80-83ish) especially the tunes. What were the years you seem to remember and have the best memories of?

 

If you recognise these names, you'll know what I mean: Starpoint, Aurra, Dexter wansell, Cerrone........

I am lucky enough to remember very early on in my childhood. I remember One Pound Notes, the launch of the Sinclair C5, the arrival of Channel 4, Half Penny coins, Bejam , and when Halfords only sold push bikes.

 

Those of you who know me will know I have always been heavily into music, so I remember all choooons from the 80's onwards

[Vista]

Depends what we're talking about, if it's something my wife has said to me I often struggle to remember 30 minutes ago!

 

But mid 80's is probably about the right era for me.

I remember the Bay City Rollers. Seeing Star Wars in 77 three times. The Lybian Embassy seige, seeing the ZX81 adverts in the Sunday supplements. John Lennon getting shot. The New Years Eve party I went to in 79 at the neighbours. Getting a CB in '81. Getting it taken off me in '82 because my grades at school had slipped. Coming home from schoolin '86 and seeing the space shuttle challenger blow up on John Cravens Newsround.

I remember watching Y Viva Espana by Sylvia (I was 3) on a black and white portable tv with a really bad picture, whilst on holiday in a static caravan in the pouring rain in Scotland.

 

I also remember being on holiday at Stratfield Saye in 1977 when my dad came back to the caravan to tell us that Elvis had died.
