There was a blackcurrant one???????????
Oh yes there wasn't in your area?
Tothesea - I was also at sub club and fury Murrays when up, went with cousins we might have crossed paths!
Shaders and Toners sachets - omg they never worked!
"is anyone else feeling old and wondering what the hell happened?
Or is it just me" me too
Mum (in her 70's) was complaining she was tired after a very busy day, I was saying to her she forgets she's older, she was laughing at me saying I groan when I stand up, can't remember why I went in a room (I've taken to singing it aloud so I don't forget, dd a bit 
) and when I look in a mirror it's gran looking back at me! 
"Thirty years prior to the 80s was the 50s and that felt like a historical era to me then as a kid." So true
"I was born in 1968..that was only 23 years after the end of WW2 .
23 years ago from now is only 1996.
Wrap your head around that!" Oh ffs! 
"Watching wrestling on a Saturday afternoon on TV with my dad.
Grandstand and World of Sport (one of them had a bunch of women sitting at typewriters in the background)" omg yes! I tried to explain saturday morning kids tv to dd once (born 2001 she doesn't remember not having kids tv 24/7) and I got the look then too. I can remember having a B&w tv with a dial tuner, you basically had to retune the tv to change channel - not always successful.
That's an interesting point for op - Scotland had £1 notes for far longer.
Any scots who lives or travels frequently to other parts of U.K. Will well know the pain of trying to use scots notes in non scots uk shops etc
I think we are all hardwired to automatically respond "it IS legal tender"
But it was especially hard when the £1 notes were discontinued south of the border
