Roll back 25 years - it's 1986

[ThomasSoerensen]

I was 13 and had just taken up smoking.
I would ride my bike everywhere and try, unsuccessfully, to get attention from any girls possible.
And I would play games on my Commodore 64 well into the night.
And I would look at my poster of Samantha Fox

Little did you know then.

Moving up 17 places in the chart to Number 10 we have

Meanwhile falling 7 places to number 9 after 10 weeks in the charts here's

It's lighters at the ready for number 8 this week with

Unmoved at 7 we have a bit of 80s Reggae for you.

and climbing 4 places to number 6 we have this classic example of vacuous Yuppie-soul

Clear the path to the dancefloor, at number 5 from oh what was he in before .. I know it I know it

We're going to a break now but join us in (actually a bit longer than I thought it was going to take to do this) minutes as we count down the top 5 UK singles this week.

Spent 10 weeks working at the ship yard in Barrow in Furness as an MOD apprentice (I was 18).

What tuliphole that was!

Oh and like others have said:

[Lockhouse]

Stone me, there can't have been many of those left by then.

Probably the rustiest car of all time. Production figures were massive:

1951-57: Velox E-Type 119,052
1951-57: Wyvern E-Type 5,315
1954-57: Cresta E-Type 220,019

There's probably only a couple of hundred roadworthy examples left.

Oops we've already done 5.

Welcome back and straight to number 4 where Straits are not the only things that are Dire (own up - pastel jacket with sleeves rolled up and espadrilles)

Now, just managing to squeeze into the top 3 that band your Dad calls "Who's that bunch of benders"

At 2, just off the top spot, no way is this 25 years old! A group of 3 Norwegian lads who are going to create a temporary surge of popularity for the Norwegians at your Uni with all the fit girls. Knowing me, knowing you...

And still at Number 1 after 10 weeks in the chart it's that one we don't like really - anyone fancy a pint? Is he gay that one? People aren't really gay in real life are they? Leave the girls, they'll dance to this one amongst themselves.

[Churchill]

Indeed not.

Nor did I realise that Kelly McGillis was of the same persuasion.

You bastard! That's one fantasy blown out! At least my Monica fantasy is safe.

[ThomasSoerensen]

Little did you know then.

I am quite sure that knowledge would have made zero difference to me.

[Sysman]

I was still living with my parents, dating the woman that was to become my first wife and driving a 1956 Vauxhall Velox.

West Country? I think that era's Vauxhalls in built up areas had all rusted away by then.

This is what they look like now - sob

1986 was the year I discovered Smash Hits. Though I was still at primary school.
