What were you doing in 1994?

I was 11/12. I don’t think the concept of a ‘tween’ existed yet, or at least if it did I wasn’t aware of it? I got Just 17 magazine most weeks which felt very grown-up. I especially loved the problem page, although I wasn’t much of a Take That fan and found all the Mark Owen pull-outs a bit tiresome.

We got Sky for the first time and I watched an awful lot of the old MTV Europe which actually showed music videos most of the time back then, rather than just the rubbishy reality shows it deteriorated into later. The Simpsons was only on once a week at 6pm on a Sunday, which was somewhat problematic as it clashed with the Top 40.

I was super excited when Wet Wet Wet stayed at number 1 the entire summer. Although I was too young to go and see the associated movie ‘Four Weddings’ and had to make do with ‘Free Willy’ and ‘The Flintstones’ instead.

How about you?

I was a student in a Northern UK city and having a flipping ball. It was a very optimistic decade overall, I think.

I'd just started school

Ahh fab year for me - especially summer of 94. Just sat my A-Levels, was young and gorgeous, had a cool part time job in Habitat and spent all my money going to pubs and clubs where we'd meet unsuitable boys to snog! Went on a funny holiday to Spain with my best mate at the time. Then off to university. Such a happy carefree time!
