"what were the main feature and events of yours?"
John Lennon's murder (I was in Room M18 at school chatting with my mates when my bessie mate came in with a trannie (radio, not cross dresser) and whacked the volume up for the news - teacher came in a coupla mins later and sat with us while we listened to Imagine then we talked about loss in registration instead of the normal crap))
Band Aid - "just give us the fucking money".....who's gonna drive you home....
Being a New Romantic.....Door Lady at local disco following me and my mate and our 2 boyfriends out as Jase had dropped a bangle and saying to me..."Here Caz, that tall lass dropped her bangle".....
How's that song go? "Those were the days my friend......"  |

Attempting the Keswick to Barrow 40 mile walk in 1984 as one of the girls at college had put our names down for it but didn't tell me till the week before so I did no training. I always think of it this time of year as it was yesterday and a lot of folk I know are now footsore and have raised a lot of dosh for various charities (I managed 26 miles of it before my feet fell off)  |

The miners strike, rave music, acid house, the introduction of ecstasy in to main stream news, the millennium bug lol, but one of my most vivid memories is me and my friends sat in a pub the Saturday of the very first lottery draw talking about what we would do if we won, the bar even turned off the music for the draw so everyone could hear the numbers, |

Gosh me and jay had this conversation the other week.
I was officially born when we won the world cup and put man on the moon but too young to remember.
I remember radio one being launched
Colour television
video recorders
First home computers
First british woman prime minister
Think the "single" biggest event was the mourning of princess diana in the uk. Worldwide i twin towers.
First test tube baby
When jay and i where discussing it its amazing what difference 22 years makes.
