In 1982, when I was 18, my poor grandmother died after a long time with dementia. My brother and I nursed her to the end, while my mother disappeared with her new boyfriend. When she died my brother and I found out that she left a fortune to the both of us, including property. We were very careful with the money. I'm 59 now and now I have to care of my mother, who at 87, has also developed dementia. That's my memory of 1982.

I remember that Christmas Two Ronnies particularly well, as it was the first christmas I had access to a tape recorder and a TV to record the audio from. I recorded all the songs and must have listened to them 100's of times to the point where I knew them off by heart. I recognised a few of the adverts, too. Something else I used to record the audio of. The novelty of being able to do that lasted a couple years, and I still have a couple of those old cassette tapes, now.

[@RetroReminiscing]

Same here , it was a great novelty for us back then and we really appreciated music more and lyrics...or buying an LP which had the lyrics of each song inside it ...

Notice how much slimmer people were back then. I don't remember anyone being fat when I was a kid in the 80s. I vividly remember the first McD popping up on our nearest city when I was around 10. It's been a slow crawl towards am obese society since then.

[@jorvikaengelskvinna7157]

Exactly. Now it wouldn't be "pinch an inch", would it?

[@Embracing01]

But it's not mainly the likes of McDs etc that is causing people to be fat. I think the main cause is with the supermarkets with their processed foods, the GMOs, lack of nutrients in the fruit and vegs that has been stood too long in the shelf. Where do most shop? the supermarket. Also, another thing I think causing people to be fat is boredom. My kids are always bored, yet they have X Boxes, tablets, Switch's, internet etc, they rarely go outdoors to the field (of course I'm to blame) and this boredom makes them hungry and eating crap from the cupboard.

[@jorvikaengelskvinna7157]

@@Embracing01 Fast food certainly has its place. But I agree it is not solely to blame. Inactivity is the worst thing for the young today. I don't buy cupboard snacks every grocery shop - only occasionally. It helps stop boredom grazing.

[@gofres]

@@Embracing01 agreed. However, boredom can be turned into creativity and many kids these days aren't given the opportunity to be bored and create thier own fun. As an experience, why not remove all their usual gadgets for a week and tell them they'll have to make their own fun? This experiment has been run with groups of kids loads of times and most will invent games or pick up a sport.

@@dmmoctober ... really! Although I'd prefer the 60s and 70s to go back to, the 80s weren't too bad, the decade when things started to go dowhill though. It was better because things were simpler, no internet bullying, companies answered telephones when you called them and didn't have those awful answer machines we have to contend with now, no cyber crime, no phone scammers, no mobile phone zombies and young folk had more manners and respect, and definitely no wokery. Kids could play out all day and go to school by themselves without worry. There was so much more I'd be here all day.

I agree, all those things caused the UK to go downhill. Everybody looks so hideous now with chavvy tattoos, I don't know why people think tattoos look good - and the use of Americanisms is so damn well annoying!! I hate all those stupid phrases!! (Another annoying thing is the word "like" in every sentence - : "I was like, yeah, I went out, like -" Grrr, don't talk in that way!!) And cosmetic surgery and cosmetic procedures are so hideous as well. Everything has gone downhill, descended.

1982 saw the start of a Belgian football team that went further than the first round. We were so proud, especially because we won the opening game against former world champion Argentina. A year later, when I had just turned 11, I met the hero who scored the winning goal. For a kid my age life couldn't get better than this. 1982 was also the first 'true' 80's year. No more disco, no more punk, no more 70's bad taste clothing. We had synth and pop instead, we had Michael Jackson, and the first home computers. In 1982 there were so many technological breakthroughs. Suddenly everything seemed possible. And it would all happen in the magical year 2000. Or so we thought.

[@RetroReminiscing]

That was a brilliant little summary to read and so accurate! Thank you very much !! and wow what a fantastic memory you have had for life since 1983! Not everyone gets to do that! Superb!

[@jacquesmertens3369]

@@RetroReminiscing It was on a Thursday before Easter. After the football training where we had a surprise visit from our hero (Erwin Vandenbergh) we were told to go to the nearby church to attend mass. Erwin Vandenbergh decided to join us. And he sat right next to me! The priest kept waffling on about God, but as far as this 11 yr old kid was concerned, I was already in God's presence. Life was simple back in the 80's. Everyone had fun. People were genuine. No influencers and followers. What has become of our world?
