Yeah this makes me feel old,the news stories actually meant something back in the day when you was a young child,a lot of things happened in the 80's,these days I hardly bother with the news

To answer op's question I was a 10 year old watching it at home

Wherever

I was a rebellious 16 year old behind the other side of Iron Curtain when it actually happened, crossing the border freely just a year later for my first student exchange in Amsterdam.

Something that I will never forget.

1889 was your zenith darling.

It was. It was a unanimously declared vintage. The harvest was rich and the sugars were concentrated.

I feel so old.

I was due to be meeting friends in a pub. None of us poor students had phones but I just had to stay home and watch this unfolding.

When I next saw my friends I started to apologise but only one out of the five of us had not stayed home.

A truly extraordinary day in a momentous year (Hillsborough, Tian'anmen, Berlin and finally the slow hand clap in Romania which quickly led to the fall of Ceau?escu)

I still have about a dozen newspapers from that year. I'm such a nerd
