Gen X where are you ????

[JRHartleysmum]

What are you ‘I’m old’ references that younger folk might not understand ?
I’ll start: ‘too orangey for crows, it’s just for me and my dog’

it's not on this pic but I loved the frog shaped cider apple flavour ice lolly anyone remember them?
and funny feet

Sindy, 1000%. My favourite one was a blonde tennis player with bunches (clearly modelled after Tracy Austin). I called her Angela.

Barbie has a weird small head.

(Yes, I know that Sindy's head was actually massively out of proportion.)

So many impressions of this at school! Still makes me laugh!

'Whenever you rent or buy a video..' in BBC accent. Piracy warning on VHS

TV moments that stick out:
Charles and Di wedding. I got bored and went out to play
Tommy Copper collapsing on stage, came on the news after that he’d died
Raising the Mary Rose on Blue Peter, also musical youth telling Simon groom that a dutchie was a cooking pot
The Berlin Wall coming down on breakfast news as I was getting ready for school. I was far more interested in whichever lad I was after that week

I also remember when the Pope visited in about 1982. I was in a Catholic school so we got to watch that on TV too.
