Funny how in life, at the time most people take what they have for granted and in the future they spend time reminising about what they had.

[NS2500]

TV shows - Fast Forward, Allo Allo, Goodies!

Clothes - Those black Adidas pants with the orange and green stripes

Music - on cassettes!

Cars - X-DEF Falcons

Food/Drink - Bottles which didn't have moulded bottoms so they had those stick-on black bottoms with feet.

Popels (i dont know how u spell it or if thats the name but they were the teddy that u could turn inside out n make a ball with them eg: soccer ball)
