A Saturday from which year?

[Neverendinggapyear]

Got the bus into town with K, T, L & A Headed to HMV and got my favourite cd. Tried on clothes in River island and Topshop, nothing looked good, the shiny skirt and fluffy top looked amazing on T and she knew it!
Pinched lip liners from Body shop, sprayed some White musk and managed to get out without anyone noticing.
Ate two Boosts and Pickled onion monster munch on the bus home, felt gross, will never be thin now.
Ate Spag Bol for tea and watched 90210 then Blind date.
Met everyone down the passage, pissed on Strongbow super, K robbed 5 embassy off her mum.
Got tickets for Bowlers next week, sooooo excited, hope F goes, I’m wearing my Kangol trainers or Gazelles and a crop top.

Dry Bar... I drank in there in the later 90s but I think it’s a bit of an institution

But if your mate's mum was a stoner more likely stretford

I'm joking, stretford would have been metrolink into town

Oof 4 years too late 🤣

Mid 90,s Afflecks is obviously Afflecks palace, i have heard of Bowlers but i was more of a rockworld girl, i reckon Bolton or Bury?

Please tell me T runs a successful cake making business 😁

No-one in the UK was watching '90210' after about '92. I think ITV only screened one or two series.

I think it was on itv for a year or so (possibly after Baywatch on Saturday nights?) but then it was on Sky. I remember watching it at friends’ houses as we never had Sky.

Good guess… I’m 38.

Leeds 1992

Definitely manchester in the early 90's. 1991/92??
My teen dd loves HMV brings back memories when she's says she going there with her friends just as I did 30 years previously!

These have really made me smile...might have to stick some appropriate tunes on Spotify in a mo!

Oh, so 1994 (maybe 3)

Some town close to Manchester, if not Manc itself.

1996 - Manchester

Manchester 1996 friends are Kate, Tiff, Louise, Anna/Aisha, Finbar.

I would have said Loreto or Xaverian but you're getting the train so you must be further out unless you're getting the train from Levy, which would be a mad thing to do. Holy Cross?

Yes 90210 was defo gone by 1992 but kangol was a bit later oasis era I'd say???

at last 9f the summer wine

Ha, so yes, you've just told us!

Oh crosspost!

'I think it was on itv for a year or so (possibly after Baywatch on Saturday nights?) but then it was on Sky. I remember watching it at friends’ houses as we never had Sky.'

Yeah; I was playing the odds a bit, but I'm still surprised it was as late as 1994. I did think the show moved from ITV, but far fewer people had Sky back then, and at any rate the fad for '90210' didn't really last long in this country. I can't remember anyone of my acquaintance still watching it in 1994. I feel we'd moved on to Nick and Jodie in 'Heartbreak High' 😂

1995

Brilliant thread! It's like the MN version of My Teenage Diary from BBC radio.

Are you still in touch with any of your friends, Neverending? Are you a bit more understanding of your mum's woes now?

@CheeseyMcCheeseface Ha ha, no, but I am still friends with her to this day and she does still make amazing cakes

@ZoyaTheDestroyer

If we're going to talk about shows cancelled before their time, I'd say 'Glow' is right up there . . . 😔

1995

You were definitely in Manchester with Afflecks. Slicked pony tail with two bits hanging down, probably 94/95 maybe?

Round these here parts a potato cake is kind of like a farl. Lovely toasted with a metric fudge ton of butter.
