Yes, it’s all very well getting all misty about the way things used to be, but think how much better things are now…
J K Rowling instead of Enid Blyton
Pokemon Crystal on GameBoy instead of that crap Mastermind game with the pegs
Nike Air trainers instead of Dunlop Green Flash
Offspring hoodies instead of duffle-coats
The Prodigy instead of The Beatles
Red Bull instead of Dandelion & Burdock
The Bill instead of Z-Cars
Rollerblades instead of strap-on rollerskates
Ghetto-blasters instead of Dancettes
21-speed mountain bikes instead of 3-speed Raleigh Choppers
Footie on the telly instead of Mick McManus wrestling
CDs instead of 45s
Holidays in the Med instead of holidays in Margate
Yardies instead of The Krays
Skateboards that steer instead of skateboards that don’t
Hard House instead of Glam Rock
Jedi knights instead of Robin Hood
Robert Pires instead of Nobby Stiles
Blue Smarties, Dorling Kindersly books, Chunky Kit-Kats, PS2s, Solero Shots, tubes of black and red Wine Gums, Toy Story…
Plus (and this is the really good bit) we still have all the great stuff from back then...Tin Tin, Ronson lighter fluid, Scooby-Doo, Pineapple Chunks, endless summers, Tom & Jerry, unemployment, cut grass, the Middle-East crisis, British Bulldog and Stingball, kiss-chase...
