Cameras with 24 film that you needed to wind on after taking the pic/ take it to the chemist when all 24 are taken and wait 10 days for them to be developed. Go to the chemist all excited to see the pics and find 12 have no heads on people, 4 are over exposed and the rest have red eyes people on them

West Wales and Cardiff

The sheer, trembling excitement on nights when Channel Four were showing films with the red triangle in the corner of the screen.

How I loved my European arthouse movies when I was 15. I was dead arty and sophisticated.

*cough*

In Wales, S4C would show them a week or so later - double the wanking potential

You had to watch a tv program in real time so as to chat about it at school next day. e.g Monty python .

I can remember playing a lot of Madonna and MJ.

I had a couple of their albums. Couldn't find them in my Dads collection - so don't know what's happened to them. He had a pretty good collection, himself.

Got a portable player last year, started collecting again.

"When you needed arms like Garth to carry your portable music player !"

Or you had to go around holding your discman bloody flat in your hand or else it wouldnt play. And carry your discs around also in a holder. The things we had to endure!
