• BLOCKBUSTERS!
• The chinese man who always knocked on our door selling dvd’s, half of which were in chinese and we’d have to read the english subs 😂
• S Club 7
• Britney Spears
• Kylie Minogue

Tbh, the whole thing was a vibe.

Ohh wow I loved my light blue trouser skirt!

The McDonalds' Happy Meal toys were really, really good. The transforming fries, wind-up burgers and pull-back Batman cars. No double the earth will be grateful, but I wince when my kids get excited over some sad little cardboard dinosaur.

999, Londons Burning, Strange but True. All shows I was much too young to be watching.

For me hearing the theme tune from Birds of a Feather is one of the most nostalgic 90s things. And smelling Impulse O2 and Air body sprays again, I bought them both recently.

Strange But True gave me the creepies a few times 😂

I was overjoyed when I found Rimmel have bought back out Heather shimmer and Coffee shimmer lipstick!

Naf Naf jackets

The Christmas smell of tinsel when you opened the decorations box!!!

I suddenly had this flashback to a tv series called ‘Are you afraid of the dark?’ Did anyone else watch it!!

As others have mentioned Keeping up appearances and Birds of a feather which my grandparents always watched brings back a lot of memories of that time being relaxed and cosy on their sofa with a cup of tea 🥹

Yeah i watched are you afraid of the dark it was actually quite scary if I remember right

Round The Twist

Does anyone still automatically sing the theme tune?

Yes 🤣

’Have you ever, ever felt like this? How strange things happen, are you going round the twist?’ 🤣
