Following on from my "Good Old Times" discussion, I thought that I'd start a discussion about growing up in the 1980's...
It was during the 80's that I became a teenager with a certain amount of living carefree without the responsibilities that adult life brings and without knowing (or even suspecting) that I was autistic.There was a lot going on - both good and bad.
BAD
GOOD
What are your memories from the 80's?Do you remember them as the best times of your life? Or maybe the worst times?
I was three months old when we 'protected' the Falklands (weren't 300+ Argentinians killed as their boat was heading *away* from the Falklands?) The cultural legacy of the 80s seems massive, particularly in terms of films and pop music. However, politically, the 80s seem very grim. Thatcher and Reagan have so much to answer for.
