Nice to see 80's memories from the U . K .!

Great times....great music. The last decade, where kids showed respect to others. The last decade it was safe to go out at night.

After two hours of typing in the code from a gaming magazine then waiting forever for it to load. SYNTAX ERROR, aarrrghhhh

Our "half-day" was Thursday, and I never saw our school computer, my class could not be trusted with it! Other than that, many happy memories...

I remember a tv we rented from radio rentals, the rent on it wasn’t bad but the dam thing was coin operated, a bit like the electric meter. Madness! 😂

I remember all of these, simpler times. Strange to think that in a few decades a video like this will state "You know if you grew up in the 2020's because the whole world imploded into lockdown insanity!".

Take me bk to the 80s . Had peace , no worrying bout getting stabbed . Good times.

How come The Flumps theme tune made me burst into tears...? 😂 Fantastic video.. For me, making the fire before school, I miss it so much.

I was born in 75 in the UK. Amazing memories, I loved growing up in the 80s. A highlight was looking in the back of the Kayes catalogue choosing which toys you wanted for Christmas. I always wanted Tin Csn alley but sadly never got it. Thanks for posting, great video 👍

You grew up in the 80s if you recognise the theme music to Grange Hill.

So so true....live Down Under and was born in '75 so can relate to pretty much all of these...except probs the squirrels as we had stupid bloody noisy Cockatoos and Kookaburras instead...and laughed so much at the phone having it's own seat and table...

Our school's version of "Chinny Reckon" Went "Jiiiiiimmy Hiiiiiill, chin,chin,chin" Still find it too funny 😂😂😂

Anyone remember those little plastic joke fingers you could stick on to the edge of your car boot or door, made to look like someone was trapped inside. I still remember them vividly, especially when we went to Blackpool.

Luvd this....many memories I forgot about....

If you added BMX and Transformers it would have been the perfect nod to the best decade ever.

Brilliant. Brings back a load of good memories. Thanks for this!

I grew up in the 80s but went to secondary school in 86, and we had several computers, for IT and a dot matrix printer in the stationery room, in the business studies area. I remember helping out a couple of the teachers with computers as they couldn't get the jist of using them. I sort of remember most of these things but in the early 80s I was primary school age, I really grew up late 80s early 90s. Yes I was that kid who had my birthday parties at Wimpy lol. What about He Man, She Ra, DuckTales, Dickie Davies (went to my grammar school and came for a visit), wrestling on the TV, fold out Mahogany tables, disposable cameras, Ford Cortinas, Um Bongo, Safeway, Green Shields stamps, My Little Pony, Get Along Gang, Superted....

At 1: 30 , if you look at the label on the tape , it says " Eat Shit ! "

Awesome thanks for that trip down nostalgia avenue.. chinny reckon 😂😂😂😂

The Flumps theme as an opener is genius !! Better days,sadly lost. A time when respect had to be earned,and not just expected,and common sence spoke the truth. Thanks for posting Golden memories 😆💕👍👍👍👍

I was born in the mid 80's but remember most of this.

How marvelous, great work.

Still got my commodore 64 lol! Get it down every 10 yrs to show kids n grandkids! Remember waiting for an eternity for games to load....then half of them wouldnt work lol!

I was born in 1980, good list, I would have added those static things that used to be ubiquitous, every other car had anti-static things attached.

Those were the days, sweet memories

I remember the day channel 4 was launched

My school had one computer in it like most other schools in the U.K. That's one more than any other country in the world at that time. We were on top for that brief time in history.

Tremendous!! xx

Great memories!

As well as milkmen, we also had a seafood van that sold jellied eels, cockles, whelks, and prawns!

I remember the big, clunky, green-lettered computers back then...and no internet on them.

I laughed at 37secs. Charlie said never to go with strangers 😂😂😂

Great clip. I was 9 in January 1980 NZ. I knew everything thing here as my parents were Londoners. I live there too when I was 6 for a bit. NZ had everything the UK had. Tom Bailey was replete to the 80s TV. For me the best doctor. In NZ I delivered milk chasing a milk truck through the streets, jumping on and off with bottles in had. Open side trucks with a bar above the head to grab and a steel grip runner for footing. We sat on the milk crates on the side of the truck speeding through the streets in summer as the milk got warm. Ah smell of diesel exhaust. In part 2 there is a pic of a Wellington primary class. I have an identical one from Ak 1976. Clothing almost identical in style.

Love it, The school assembly photo was taken at my school "Eltham Green". fame at last

"charley says always tell your mummy before going off somewhere".

Brilliant!

We OWNED our TV!

Who remembers white dog poo!

Shops shut here in Australia 1pm Saturday until Monday morning right up until Xmas 87. It wasn't until 96 that we had full trading on Sundays in the City !! Great looking back - it does seem like a different planet though !!

Brilliant or should I say Ace!

You can still get the crisps with the blue salt packet in some places. :D

Hey that's MY Ford Fiesta XR2!! Photograph taken in 1988. You obviously nicked this photo from my flickr photostream without my permission. I don't mind it's on here but please ask first..

Huh. I remember several of these, but a lot of them are more 70s. Am I wrong?

I was born in '73 (yes 1973 not 1873 cheeky gits 😁) ...some days you find yourself longing for simpler times - never dreamed I'd be saying that about the 80s! So many fond memories but so flippin' thankful for all the modcons we have today! 🙃

It took me until 45 seconds in to realize this was likely British, the blue 3 wheel car threw me. Cool list.

These were our days 👍🏼

You know you grew up in the 80s if..... you were born sometime in the 70s.

Mostly true. Two notable exceptions. Phone boxes weren't on EVERY street and had phone directories not Yellow Pages. Pretty sure the grey squirrel had already pushed the native red squirrel out of most of the UK by then also

Does anyone remember on the old style televisions in the 1980s, sometimes the picture used to jump, and you had to fiddle about with the aerial for ages (sometimes to no avail) to try to sort it out!!

We were so lucky bck then 😞 I miss being little.

That tape said eat shit lol

Playing the pools!

Questions: Why "Chinny Recon"? Why were shops closed on Wed afternoon? You rented you TVs from a "Radio" rental?!? What kind of change would you get from a penny?!?! Im interested in the Spot the ball 'MAN', but not enough to ask... Please....need input!

Amazing decade

The garage in video is in perthshire

Dude! I totally forgot about the ‘spot the ball’ games

I can remember near where I used to live was a little corner shop, and on a Sunday there were certain things that they were not allowed to sell on a Sunday, I can't remember what my mum asked me to get but they would not serve it to me as it was against the law I had to get it the next day, how times have changed

Did anyone else used to do phone tapping to make that call to your friends when your parents had put a lock on the old dial phones. lol

My first computer was the ZX spectrum +2. Hahaha +2 megabytes, what could you do with that today? And the god awful noise it made loading

We were so unhappy PC back then.. We called the blue 3 wheelers "spaz chariots '

The 80’s feels like it took place in an alternate dimension

Brilliant,where did all the dog muck go though.

1980s...my decade.

My first and only computer was a second hand acorn electron

These look more like if you grew up in the 60’s rather than the 80’s other than the computer stuff which we didn’t have in the 60’s

home i miss you

The Flumps!

The greatest times ever

I love the nostalgia and looking back at a time when I was a child, but I also remember the bullying. I hated school. The teachers were bullies as well. Playgrounds were lethal, made of concrete and metal. There was dog shit everywhere as no one was picking it up. Admittedly they were simpler times, but I doubt I would go back if I was given the opportunity.

Their were video games not just on cassette but also on really big Floppy Disks and then smaller blue ones, Also you forgot VHS recorders and pagers etc

Your right about the post. Were I live in west Wales we sometimes get ours as late as 4 in the afternoon. We havent progressed much.

What about the football pools, collected every week during football season…

Great

If I told people at work that only women had blue purple or pink hair when I was a lad I’d get invited down to the HR department for re-education or future careen advice outside the company depending on how hard the office LGBTQRST PERSON felt butt hurt about it 😂

need a Canadian version of this :)

How about White dog poo.. I remember as a kid, before the waste bins were a thing, seeing the local field covered in the stuff!!

Do you know that name of the school hall that is shown? It's looks very much like the one I went to, but then maybe they all looked similar!

I grew up in the 50's and couldn't remember any of this stuff. Then I realized it was all British!

Was it spot the ball or the Pools man.

that was my life

Im rollin on tha floor laughin ... omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪💯🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚘♥️🎩BLACKCAT HACKERS UK 🇬🇧

Ace lol

I would have subscribed anyway... but The Flumps cemented it.

I'd like a P please Bob 😄

Who remembers action force?

The Flumps

Am 14 my parents grew up in the 90s my grandma was like In her 20s in the 80s 😂

Very good, but round us it wasn't "chinny reckon" - it was "I'm shaving my beard" or even more bizarrely "belmer"

getting free school meals with a dinner ticket, shopping at c and a, when vol u vonts at a family party were the height of food on offer at the buffet, doing the actions to the birdie song, your nan coming in with the tea things on a hostess trolley, everyone seemly having a electric fire, when you was obsessed about collecting every keyring, rubber and sharpener that you could lay your hands on, wearing sweat bands but not doing any exercise, trying to break dance when you clearly had no skill in dancing, listening to you small collection of cassette tapes on your walkman over and over again, wearing a knight rider track suit practically every where you went, when looking at the argos catalogue was something you could do for hours, searching through a new box of cereal for the toy and not always bothering to eat the cereal for breakfast, when you could buy wildcat, oink and hoot in the shops, when our favourite toys were he man and star wars figures which off course are dolls for boys, having your first crush on a girl when they probably didn`t even know your name, being worried about not being invited to a kids party, bouncing on a trampoline, the fun you could have on a bouncy castle, playing crazy golf on a seaside holiday, playing air hockey, butlins before it all changed into a posh resort, going to thorpe park when it was supposed to be an educational experience, superman says no to cigarettes, witches garden on a bbc computer, playing a computer game on cassette tape and waiting for about an hour for it to load, copying from a overhead projector, when the only television in your room would be a black and white portable with only four channels and no video or sky in sight, when you probably had to wait for a new film to come out in the video shop in about a year, when you needed a degree just to read the video recorder instructions, when unless you were very lucky the only computer that you saw was at your mates house or at school.

You could make a phone call with a 5p coin

modern society sucks

OBVIOUSLY NOT from the U.S.A. still cool though. The 80s were the last generation of togetherness. So U.K. CHEERS AND MUCH LOVE TO YA!!!

That penny is actually a half penny

I. Remember having 4 channels

Are we talking about the 1980's or the 1880's a bunch of these things were not in my 1980's.

At 0.24 it is not very '80s if several of the stickers have web addresses, but apart from that great!

Most of it sounded like 70s

this must be stuff from great brittan in the 80's...... nothing closed on wed. where I grew up!!

not stateside
