I was born in 72 but fondly enjoyed the 80's more than any other decade.

I used to jump over bushes in the back field and do other mad stunts after watching the A-Team.

It was great getting 100 half penny sweets with my 50p pocket money.

Loved buying Lucky Bags, especially pleasing when they had parachute men in them.

Buying strips of gunpowder for my cap gun. (They carry real ones these days) :@

Building bomb fires that still burnt the following morning and getting wood from the old ladys to help clear out there back yards. (Now they pull peoples fences down and steal wheelie bins) :@

Watching Everton's best team for years winning two League Titles etc.

Great times, wish they could return.
