What were the 80s like?

[Memphis]

Weekday - Get up, get dressed and eat breakfast. Walk to school, even if it was further than a mile away!! Do as you're fucking told all day long or you'd get a clump. Get home, play football with your mates until it gets dark, go home, watch whatever TV channel your dad was watching, stay up for midweek sports special if you were lucky.

Weekend - wake up, get dressed and eat breakfast and be out the house by 9 am at the latest. Fill the day with bike races around the block, building dens, having fights with whatever was growing down the local fields (a damson in the face fucking hurts) and playing football. Going home for lunch optional, popping home for five minutes to eat dinner was a requirement although it didn't have to be your house you went to. Building ramps, boxing on street corners, getting hold of a slither of lino to break dance. A bottle of squash was all you needed to get through the day.

Yeah it was fucking awesome.

Made my kids watch Back to the Future, Karate Kid and Rocky 3 and 4 as homage to the great 80's.
