    I remember when one could go into Tesco and buy cassettes. Now they are all extinct and lay as a caveman exibit of the 20th century.I remember when vinyl played a major part in sales. Sadly many vinyls were lost. Now thats what call music 35 was the volume that saw the last vinyl edition.


    Remember when Tesco bread cost 15 pence or when channel five launched?
    Anyone remember OJ Simpson case on tv?

    I remember when we had that heatwave in 1995. Everyone ended up jumping off Caversham bridge and into the Thames at the Womad festival.

    yeah man, I remember the great war of the last millennium. The price war between the 3 major supermarkets back in 1998 that is! Bread went down to 7p and beans down to 3p, eggs reached a record breaking 12p. I was a student then, £5 for a weekly shop and that was with cookies and crisps and pasta!

    Does anybody remember what a Tonka toy was?

    I bet that dumper truck is still around somewhere, they guaranteed indestructibility, I think they use them for the black boxes on planes now!
