I had an white escort in the 80s which is what the police were driving at that time. The fun I had with other drivers was great. They thought I was going to pull them over, their faces when I went sailing by was a picture

The Ford Capri - the car you have always promised yourself - was built from 1969 to 1987.

Here's another 80s car - the Sierra.

I have a vague memory of the 80s as I too spent most of it drunk but I do remember going to an Echo and the Bunnymen concert in Liverpool and crashing in a churchyard on top of a sarcophagus because I was so piddled

Ooh great track! Have that on a punk rock compilation. Listen to the bass line and it sounds a bit similar to that on Nirvana's 'Come as you are'.

Mien Gott!!! My eyes!!!!

Dancing to the Birdy Song at primary school.

Eating wonderful ice lollies like Funny Feet and
Dracula.

Getting The Eagle comic delivered in the post.

Thinking that digital watches and six coloured biro pens were amazing.

Watching Ivor The Engine and Cloppa Castle and Pipkins (which always scared me)

Collecting small die-cast metal soldiers in packs of breakfast cereal (which were later banned because children were choking on them)

Eating sweetie cigarettes and pretending to smoke. Being given an anti-smoking comic book
where Superman defeats Nick O' Teen.

The best cartoon intro ever.

That's pic's a bit big.

Quite sinister...I can imagine lots of kids back in the 1980s having nightmares about that 'toon.
