I am watching an episode of One Foot in the Grave, and the Meldrews have the same duvet cover we do. Not only that, but ours in on our bed right now, and I've just checked - the episode was first broadcast in 1993.

Blimey, I knew some of our bedding was old, but I didn't realise it was that old.😂

I work in a museum and not only do we have some of my old childhood toys in our collections, we're now starting to get my DC's childhood toys in 🙈🙈

Give it a few months and they'll stick me in a display cabinet too I expect!

Has anyone ever had a duvet cover wear out? One of mine is a bit bally and has some buttons missing from the bottom. Is that worn out now?

I had one come apart at the seams this year, mostly they get destroyed by DH or DS spilling things. I mean where else would you refill your specialist paint airbrush thing

I realised about 5 years ago when I was watching old episodes of Eastenders I had the same hair style as Michelle Fowler I'm embarrassed to say it was old episodes from the 80s !

Heavens above - it's happened again. I've just seen another one of my duvet sets on telly, and this time it's Midsomer Murders.😂
It was an old duvet set this time though and I don't have it any more.

I knew it would be a BHS one! My mum still has one. They were the best.

My mum bought me a jumper for Christmas when I was a teenager and Pauline Fowler from Eastenders was wearing an identical one

This is the best yet 😂

I used to love BHS. I sometimes used to have lunch there when I worked near one. I walked past where it used to be the other day and felt a wave of nostalgia.
I'm watching One Foot in the Grave on iplayer at the moment. Very funny. I'm a similar age to the actors at the time now.
