My Dad also used to say it was illegal to have the interior light on when you were driving; as so many remember their parents saying this perhaps it was true? I've always believed it.0 -

Kids queuing up to touch the hair of the (only) little black boy in our primary school. Still remember his name, Timmy and can picture his face. This was early 90’s in Maidstone but it was like he was an alien. Crazy!!
Videoplus. Blank vhs tapes. Still remember accidentally taping over Diana’s funeral with the spice girl concert at the brits (Geri Union Jack dress) and being mortified at how I’d explain away a clear wank bank attempt to my parents.
Kids having water fights in the street (super soakers), playing curby, skateboard races, climbing trees.Teachers fighting pupils.
Huge fights between local schools? Do they still happen? All word of mouth organisation then.
Gazetta Sat am and Sun pm
Newspapers a day behind on holiday. My mate collating all the transfer news whilst I was away.
