I get why people are so obsessed with the whole '80s retro thing now - because life was fucking good then.... fuck all to worry about other than whether to watch The Raccoons or Battle Of The Planets and necking cans of Quattro, break out the ZX Spectrum and cross your fingers the shitty tape deck would load up; you could visit anywhere in the UK (other than shitpile London) and not see a single dusky face, it was heavenwe will never see them days again, so glad i lived in a free Britain when i was young.... because this country is going down hill big time..
