Now I'll test you!
The Emabassy record label which one got from Woolworths and existed for those of us that couldn't afford the 'real' records and bought these cheap covers by unknowns !

How very dare you !
I had three Moggies back then.
One time, pre breathalyser, I was driving home pissed up Spon Lane in West Bromwich. I remember looking at the the street lights heading up into town, a straight road.
Then wham! They'd put in a diversion using railway sleepers which my Moggie hit and cleared. Result? Three burst tyres and my Dad and Uncle brought me one each plus mine, changed them and I drove home.
Try that in a car today !
When any car (especially British r Italian) was a rust bucket by the time it was 7 years old and 7out of every 10 cars on the road was a banger.
When people bought sensible cars and didn't have intimidating dogs.
When the year 2000 was far in the future.
Walking around with a ghettoblaster made you the shit.
No pizzeria's and when you wanted a burger, you go to a burgerbar where you also play arcadegames.
Only one TV station and no commercials.
No remotecontrol. You had to walk over to the TV to change channels

Imagine having to scroll through 999 channels stood up though. :/
When the only hand-held entertainment you had couldn't be quickly switched of if your mother came in unexpectedly!
You'd have to have 999 buttons too!
Tellies would be BIG.
Men with ponytails.
