Anyone want to buy a lovely beige suit, one careful owner, lapels and flares so wide you could flap 'em & nearly take off.

We might get some decent music again, rather than hip hop / rap tulipe or whatever young people listen to.

6% or £6 a week payrises, and that was if you were lucky.

Accelerating inflation, so any money you earned at the start of the decade was worth peanuts at the end.
