I'm reading this thread with some 1987 tunes playing on you tube. I recommend finding the 80's stuff everyones forgotten like Johnny Hates Jazz singing "I don't want to be a hero"
I was 14.
Loved U2 and A-Ha, had lovely friends and liked school. Happy Times.

@EscapeTheCastle what a good idea!
One of my faves is Deacon Blue When Will You (Make My Telephone Ring)

I think I’m too busy briefing Margaret Thatcher on education issues for Prime Minister’s Questions. It was twice a week in those days so it took up a lot of time….

My goodness. You were in the middle of the action.

1987 hits now playing.

I'll be 14 years old. Let's go into town,look at the posters in Athena and visit the perfume bar in the body shop? Then off to Woolies for sweets 😁

If we’re off to Spud U Like and the Body Shop then I’m in!!!

Can we also go to Chelsea Girl to have a look at clothes? And also have a browse in the shoe shops: Dolcis, True Form, Freeman Hardy Willis? Then we can relax with a My Guy magazine.

Yep, I need a new pair of jelly shoes but I might see if the market has them.

We all did! With matching MFI furniture

Show quote history

Oooh, we could get the bus to MFI and have a wander round looking at all the lovely 'wall units' arranged into mini living rooms.

I run an art gallery now and actually sell posters. Ours are retro travel style rather than the tennis girl or the man with the baby

I'm celebrating my 21st birthday. I'm going to R&J's (Romeo and Juliets) in Bristol with my friends. We'll probably drink too much pernod and black or black Russians...
I quite like the Summer Chintz crockery. I'm saving for a place of my own, so I think I'll get it from Argos.

Barneybagpuss · 27/09/2025 19:40

I had the poster of the man carrying two tyres

I was hoping for a silver cross pram to come along.
Our neighbour's (in my childhood home) daughter had one for her twins! so it brings back nice memories 😊
