Let's go back to the 90s...

[sorrygru]

I'm feeling nostalgic. I'd give anything to go back and live another of my 90s weekends.

Saturday morning was spent impatiently waiting for my horse riding lesson whilst watching Thundercats. The afternoon usually involved a trip into town with my mum in our Rover 214 to go to C&A, before we all watched Gladiators (Ace was my favourite and my dad fancied Lightning), then Casualty.

Sundays meant church, which my parents only subjected us to in order to get me into the local church school. We either went to Sunday school or spent what felt like hours kneeling on the bloody cold stone church floor doing colouring whilst vaguely listening to the vicar drone on.

On Sundays we were permitted to eat lunch (sandwiches and crinkle crisps) on our laps whilst watching Thunderbirds. Then it was the smell of roast spuds cooking whilst listening to the pools results being read out. Sunday evenings meant THE FEAR of going back to school on Monday morning whilst watching Heartbeat.

I'd love to hear what others did and what your favourite memories are, no matter what age you were.

Late 90s, I'd just started going clubbing...we'd go 'up west' to some shithole nightclub....I'd drink archers and lemonade. We'd usually get an illegal minicab home....

Another 90's archers and lemonade fan here!

Aged 33, no kids, rented out my house for 8 months and took off with my OH to go backpacking around SE Asia.
Totally in love, travelled thousands of miles, saw the most amazing things, explored the most remote corners of Indonesia, Malaysian rainforest, far flung Thai islands. Rented a house for a while, had the most wonderful experiences.

It’s made me feel a bit sick. All that life that our teenage and early 20s children are missing out on.
You can’t ever get it back.

Yes I feel a bit like this but then I’m glad it’s now and not back then as I was living with a highly abusive parent and I was thinking today how I used to have to fight some days to escape and this Covid situation would have been used against me to further keep me prisoner

This thread is making me smile with all the happy memories. Loved the body shop! Can still remember smell of impulse and Charlie in school classrooms combined with lynx from the boys

Also the smell of Smirnoff Ice and Bacardi Breezers

1998
Every evening in the local pub which three of us worked at. Drinks were a quid, ten cigs for just over. Landlady did butties and brews after last orders for staff. Those memories are very precious to me.
