What were you doing in 1997?

[NW3Lady]

GCSEs for me, plus ploughing my way through the music grades and the Duke of Edinburghs. I can’t even pretend it led anywhere particularly exciting in the end but hey ho.

Friends was still massive. ER was still massive. The Spice Girls were still massive. There was a tamagotchi craze and lime green was suddenly an in colour. I got my first email address which was a CompuServe one consisting just of numbers.

How about you?

My GCSEs
Wearing DM boots and long skirts
Officiall liking oasis, Alanis Morisette and similar
Secretly also liking Take That

Moved to the country side from London. Started secondary school and tried my first cigarette. Fun times.

Secondary school- year 8- didn’t particularly enjoy school at that point.

I was at school, studying for my GCSEs and taking part in Young Enterprise. I loved the song Your Woman by White Town, but it was a good year for music generally.
