I was going to say someone should make a coffee table book of those, proving that every single two-week period of the last eighty years has been sussed out as the Golden Age by someone... but I'm at a loss as to when that one took place. It sounded like fucking Dandelion Wine until radio taping popped up in there.

Only had I phone ''The Phone Box down the road'' . . .

checked 'yes' to all of those with mounting excitement until i got to 'and you turned out okay' and realised with crushing disappointment i would be unable to like and share :(

I'm confused by the vandalism bit, is it complaining that there is not enough vandalism these days? Or that the vandalism you get these days isn't as good as the vandalism when Britain was great? Also makes it sound like the school only had one desk.

Great British Vandalism, coming this summer to BBC 2 with Mel 'n' Sue.

Recorded top 40 off the radio? That's piracy!

I used to play in the woods all day and THEN come in and play NES. The best of both worlds.

there was a time a boy could tape a top 40 of the radio

"off"

vandalism, piracy, sexual harrassment - this is what made britain great

This could be a bathetic rewrite of Notorious BIG's Things Done Changed.

Sadly I only play online Kiss Chase and the iPhone Bulldog app these days.

did uk kids get "grounded" in those days?

never heard anyone use the phrase outside of a war film until i watched neighbours

I think the UK term might be 'gated'.

debagged & radished

I'm placing that golden age above as around 1984 as opposed to my 1978. You got 20 sweets in a 10p mixture in my day, as long as they were Black Jacks or Mojos.
Also we didn't get "grounded", we got "kept in" or more often "beaten" so I think this is after the corporal punishment became frowned upon, if not illegal.

vandalism was the NF sign on the phone box down the road iirc

when Britain was great

"grounded" wasn't a word, remember having a telephone installed as an event, possibly late 70s/early 80s, vandalism included Wigan Casino grafitti on the side of Martin's the newsagent, 10p sweets made up of a mix of half pees, one pees and extragavant three pee packets of chews

vandalism was the NF sign on the phone box down the road iirc

lol this is what came to mind for me too, in my day vandalism was smashed up windows on derelict factories which are now swanky hotels and NF graffiti on walls.

You all didn't have phones until the late 70s?

We didn't have a phone til the mid-80s tbh

no-one had phones so there was no point having a phone

How did you call the cable company to renew your HBO subscription?

from the phone box down the road, as long as no-one had jammed a bent 2p coin in the slot

So Britain was great!!! while Thatcher was PM huh

for me to poop on

Hey, my fellow white people. Let's not maybe take every buzzfeed test that comes down the pike, especially the ones that end in macros like this one?

I mean, ha? You're not white like Colin Powell? Do the results span the gamut from light-skinned Negroes to dark-skinned Negroes? I don't know what I'm missing, but I think that I'd prefer to just remain missing it. Cool, ok? All-right, *awkward high-five*.

so painful

if i ever post something dumb, tell me. thanks

If Britain was so much greater back then why are you even on facebook xp

In truth only the first two sentences actually showed up on my wall, but sensing fodder for this thread, I clicked through.
