The 80s were and always will be a peak. Never will we see such a decade again.

It makes you aware of how much our poor parents paid for 'innovative' tech. Thanks mum and dad. Never went without, they must have struggled 😢xx

When you're a kid you really have no concept of money and how much things cost. I got a c64 for Christmas, £200 then, apparently now equivalent to about £700, the sacrifices my parents must have made to buy it. I couldn't possibly consider spending that sort of money or have that spent on me now. If only they were still here to thank them properly.

I was only 8 in 1984, I would give anything to go back.

Everything was so expensive, no wonder I never got much for Xmas.

The best decade, and possibly the best year of that decade.

One thing that really stands out is how expensive electrical items such as TVs and video recorders were back then!
