I work with a bunch of young folks that think the UK in the 80s was all shoulder pads, neon, synthesizers and cocaine. I have to burst their bubble, and explain that to most folks, it looked more like this. Stodgy food, parka jackets, brown formica and chain-smoking. I'm certainly not nostalgic for the 80s, apart from the music and some social aspects it wasn't all that it was cracked up to be, lol.

Yes it's so much better for kids now. Kids are not allowed out to play with their mates (we used to disappear all day, came back home when the street lights went on), constant peer pressure and bullying on social media, finish education with huge debts (most shouldn't be going to university, or it should be free like it used to be), little no no chance of owning their own house, and the joy of climate change and huge political and social unrest to look forward to. You must be deluded if you think things are better today. In the 80s you had a future to look forward to.

We never had hotdogs, pizza or chips as far as i can remember, the sweet was just sponge cake and custard afterwards. I mainly just had fish cakes and beans maybe with some mash, thats all we could afford because we had to pay for dinners back then.
