cd height of fashion = going to jumble sales, ripping the arms off things and wearing them as legwarmers..and the sawn-off top too

blusher lines (orange, natch)

HowwwlidayMumsPukefest · 18/10/2006 15:56

babycham and brandy!

CountessDracula · 18/10/2006 16:01

diamond white and special brew snakebite was always good for a spew

snakebite figured quite a lot in various guises, as did whisky macs

In 1981 EVERYONE was wearing those string vests round us, much to the horror of the parents when they bumped into their offspring in the high st with their nipples poking out

HowwwlidayMumsPukefest · 18/10/2006 16:03

Snakebite with other stuff in it too like pernod and black! Yuk oh and blue bols to turn it green

bundle · 18/10/2006 16:05

string vests round our way were only for those girls who sang Don't You Want Me Baybeee very loud at the bus stop. Me, I was more dignified than that

thats the worst bit! Mother still drags them out at the most embarrassing moments possible

Overrun · 18/10/2006 17:05

Oh I think I qualify, finally I fit in somewhere.
What about those batwing jumpers, and all the makeup even daytime stuff was shimmery

KTeepee · 18/10/2006 17:17

Did she run through flashing her pert norkage?

littlemadam · 18/10/2006 17:53

Oh I feel 15 again!! Where are the Durannies, surely there are a few on here who can sing all the words to Rio!! The puffball skirt, NOT a goos luck if you're under six foot!!
Snakebite had to be in pints tho, halves were for wusses.

tortoiseshell · 18/10/2006 17:59

I had totally forgotten Babycham - I remember having it at a friend's 14th party (and feeling SO grown up), then followed up with a game of 'Dare' including running down the road in a sheet shouting 'WOOOOOOOH'

CountessDracula · 18/10/2006 18:00

someone gave me a bottle for my 40th

I have in the fridge, I may even drink it

foxinsocks · 18/10/2006 18:04

at about that time, we drank Pernod and Black in pubs - we thought it was the height of sophistication (spew!).

taMummy · 18/10/2006 18:05

I got very, very drunk on Pernod and coke the night of my finals results. Yeuuuch.

Katierocket, what on earth did you say???

tortoiseshell · 18/10/2006 18:06

We liked Malibu and Coke, Vodka and Coke, and lots of cider. Can't drink any of them now...
