The size of Freddo’s, Saturday morning TV, free to air sports, Jamie Oliver-less school lunches. You get the picture.

    • The visual design of cars - small, sleek and angular instead of giant, fat and round (however the engines were all leaded petrol etc)
    • Nothing was tracking me or spying on me (perhaps except the PE Teacher)
    • Fewer things were packed full of artificial sweeteners
    • The music charts used to be a thing that mattered. We were entering the era of manufactured trash pop, but there were still some genuinely good songs released, which charted, such as this one (Youtube Link)
    • The “Golden Age” of action films (all the Stallone/Schwarzenegger ones etc)
    • Lots of small independent shops and manufacturers, rather than 10 mega-corporations
