my mum used to throw a tantrum if anyone talked during Crossroads.

anorak I'd completely forgotton about that one! My mum's had a belt clip attached to the thing that inflated the hair thing, IYSWIM. Honestly, just how far can you wander from an electrical socket?

And supermarkets that didn't sell sandwiches.

The original orange space hoppers, pogo sticks, BMX bikes, mini pops (yuk), rats tail hair cuts, satin trousers, horrid pastel coloured crinkly tracksuit things, ski pants, huggy bear, walking dolls, little professor calculators, speak & spell, which was soon joined by speak & maths!
Fame sweat shirts, neon socks, rainbow & pipkins on at lunch time!
I could go on & on!

Having to buy a plug when you bought anything electrical.

John Lewis in Oxford Street closing at noon on Saturday.

Being at school, having a uniform but having to own at least one item of Fiourucci clothing.

Clackers - two hard balls on a piece of string that you swirled round above your head and almost knocked yourself out - I think they had a comeback a few years ago and were promptly banned on the grounds of health and safety!!

Going supermarket shopping with my mum and the tills were push button affairs - it must have taken ages!!

Oh yes I had a cheekaboo & loved it!
They were monkey type things that sucked their thumbs wern't they?

Oh no Fimbo - totally bought back the Saturday trip to Asda, the new supermarket that was meant to be the bees knees - vivid, horrifying memories of the car journey fighting with my brothers and what felt like hours in the shop - ahhhhhh

Oh Yes Fimbo - those tills must have taken forever!

Those monkeys that clipped onto things - you squeezed their arms and they opened.

Big commemerative coins in clear plasic wallets. Remember them?

Did you ever make a kite out of a carrier bag with string tied to teh handles and you ran and ran pulling it behind you?

And water fights with your Mum's washing up bottle filled with water?

Making rose petal perfume.

Yes & plastic hands & feet!
I think mine had a hair ribbon too!
Does anyone remember those horrible bright coloured plastic shopping bags, that everyone thought were really cool?!
They were like jelly shoes but a bag!!!
