the day you think Radio 2 is miles better than that bloody awful racket on Radio 1. (if only they would stop playing fucking ELO!)

 

When someone in the office mentions spangles or some other 70's brand and I'm the only one in the office that remembers them.

 

hearing some old TV theme like the sweeney as a ringtone.

 

givning people directions via long gone landmarks. Go past where Blacklers used to be then turn left and head towards where Owen Owen's used to be.

The fact that Ride On Time by Black Box was number one over twenty years ago.

 

I won a karaoke competition on the Radio City roadshow singing that song back in '89. I won a t-shirt, a mug, a biro and a sticker in a Radio City carrier bag. It had a signed picture of Tony Snell in it too, which pleased me greatly.

You ask for a can of Quattro and a Marathon before realising you have to settle for a Lilt and meant a Snickers. Same as you call Carling, Carling Back Label.

 

You still think in old area codes and have to adjust by adding a one. 051, shit a better redial with 0151.

 

You go back to Uni and realise its not okay to hand-in hand-written work anymore. It has to be word processed.

 

You stop yourself buying thing cos they're a 'rip-off'. 52p for a fucking bag of crisps, bah they were 28p only *counts to self*... 1, 2, 3... fuck ten years ago. Same with portions of chips, £1.30... what? £1.30 it was 28p a portion in Chans in 1987... aww fuck!

The last time I bought a SaveAway bus, train and ferry ticket that was supposed to be for one day's travel but could do you a month if you didn't scratch the silver off, it was 30p.

 

Now I can only imagine it's more than a pound.

 

*Goes to Merseytravel website for a look*

 

*Spits out Cocoa*

 

£4.50!? I'll get the Overhead Railway instead!

 

 

Oh.
