Pre internet… the world was a whole better place! It’s all gone to shit since the 90s

You forgot

Groovy Chick

Tammy Girl, Bay Trading, Bang on the Door characters on everything, drawstring bags with sports logos on, garage music (So Solid Crew, Craig David), and yes as you said snake on the Nokia, absolutely!

Pedal pushers and trouser skirts, remember those?!

I bloody loved it back then. Genuinely had the best childhood.

One thing I have noticed is that back then, we PLAYED!! We played for bloody hours and hours and hours and used our imaginations. My kids hardly play… all they ever ask for is my phone/tv (which they don’t get). They just don’t seem interested in playing like I did when I was their age. My brother would spend hours on end at the football pitch down the road, there is one not far from where we live now and I never ever see anyone in there.

Times have changed and I wish my children were growing up in a different time.

Yes msn!! And… bebo, was it?

SHOUT magazine
Auntie Mabel
Blue Peter appeals.

There was a feature on msn wasn’t there (was it a nudge?) to get the other person to respond 😂

@youngestisapsycho we had internet in the 90’! got email in 1992 and rudimentary internet via uk academic network and had full internet at work from 1994, ok wasn’t as sophisticated but it existed. Messages boards were particularly popular

Sabrina, dream phone, polly pockets, saved by the bell, sister sister.

I loved shout and mizz

Limewire!

And Bearshare

Jeremy Kyle was 2005 on… I think a lot of this list is 2000s really!

Jerry Springer was 90s - if you knew someone who had Sky

Forever Friends everywhere

Byker Grove and The Broom Cupboard

Having to have the right plastic shopping bag to carry your PE kit to school

Inpulse body spray and Lynx Africa

Looking up to grown up girls who shopped in Etam

MP3 players

Ring pops

@FloraBotticelli probably! I’m mid 90s so my memories are all early 2000s… I loved it and although internet and mobiles existed they hadn’t taken over our lives! It was brilliant.

Yes but people born in the 90s were the ones watching often.

You forgot Britannia record membership 🤣

I loved those massive, impractical cargo trousers.

Pogs.

Oh amazing! The nostalgia, I wish it were as simple now. I’m completely biased obviously but we really did have it good

Had forgotten about Bang on the Door and wasn’t there Purple Ronnie cards everywhere?
