I am just listening to some 1980's music and watching Leyland Titan pictures from the 1980's; oh boy I wish I had a time machine, things were so different then, really miss it.

Although I was born in 1989, I love many things about the 1980's and wish I'd been there to see it all for myself. Pretty much everyday I'm listening to something from the 80's or from an artist who were known for their 80's hits and my three joint favourite vehicles were popular in the 80's (L, M & T)  |

Buses were brilliant, Nationals, Titans and Olympians everywhere in Romford. Kids programmes actually had some thought put into them and music was....well, technical lol. |

I wasn't around in the 1980's, but I love the music from that decade, some of the best tunes were produced during the 80's.

Especially when going through my old photos and listening to music that was out at that time i'm reminiscing about. |

Although having said that, at least some of the vehicles of my childhood still roaming London's streets. |

Never mind the 1980's, I miss the mid-late 1990's.   |

You must be getting old. Reminiscing about the past is a classic sign of ageing. I do it all the time. You KNOW when it's 'ageing' when all your memories are in B&W I can't match that one John. Fair to say most of my memories are in full colour although I can just about remember the day when we first got a colour TV at home. That was quite a surprise! Back in the days when you rented your television from a TV rental company! Yes kiddies  we used to do things like that. Now TVs are effectively throw away technology and loads of people watch "telly" on computers or smartphones. All very different. A bit like trying to find any new kit these days that can play, shock horror, video tapes or music cassette tapes! Having just had my old "music centre" partly conk out on me I was pleasantly surprised to find a repair centre just mins away. They've fixed my twin cassette deck and are now fixing my record turntable. That means I can enjoy swathes of my record collection all over again.  Oh and just to be a little picky are the "young 'uns" here really reminiscing or just enjoying finding out what happened in the 1980s with music, culture and buses for the first time? That's really discovery and not reminiscing because you weren't around to experience the 80s in the first place. Bit like I can't reminisce about the 1950s as I wasn't born.  Anyway we all know music from the 80s and earlier was the best music. You should all tune in to Forgotten 80s on Absolute Radio on Sunday evenings. Loads of rarely played gems are played / requested on the show. Great fun. Past shows are available on Mixcloud. The few people on here who've found me on Twitter will see my silly tweets as I listen along to the show. The same lunacy happens when Top of the Pops 1982 is on BBC Four at 1930 Thurs/Fris. |

A reminder of how technology has advanced over the years, a few years ago my granddaughter who was 6 at the time, was 'helping' me sort some of my stuff out. She opened a box and said "Grandpa what's this?" It was an LP sleeve. When I opened it and showed her the disc, she said "It must be a big slot for it." I then showed her how this "CD" worked. She was fascinated that this "CD" was going around and around and music was coming out of the speakers. For a few months after, everytime she came to us she wanted me to "PLay the big CD" for her. Happy days |

You KNOW when it's 'ageing' when all your memories are in B&W Funnily enough, we had a black & white TV still in use right up to the end of analogue signal use a few years back. We still have it but it's stored in the cupboard. |

Travelling around on Metrobuses and Nationals, playing Pitfall and Pacman on the Atari, retching at the smell of mum's perm and having the old man blasting out Big Country's 'In a Big Country' on the stereo! What could of been better for a kid born in 83!
