This Is England '86

[manc-mag 1]

Booking the new releases out at the video shop cos they'd only have one copy of each film. You could reserve stuff at Video Phil (what a name!) at the nook in shields and had to keep checking to see if the person that had it had brought it back in yet.

 

Fixing the tracking and fast forwarding and rewinding if the tape wasn't quite working properly.

 

I'm in Scotland at the minute and just walked down a street with a Victoria Wine and an Intersport on it. Land that time forgot.

 

Jesus...Intersport was shit even back in the 80's.

Aye. You used to be able to rent some cracking videos for 50p back then...a wide selection. These days you can only get the latest 'blockbuster' releases.

 

Game and Watch!

I was in the Montparnasse shopping centre in Paris a couple of months ago and they had a C&A, Habitat, and a few other old skool chains I thought had gone to the wall. Was like being back in the 80s. And I thought the French were supposed to be cool and sophisticated.

I had the first G&W ever iirc - called 'Fire' where you had to save people jumping out a burning building with a trampoline. The orange dual screen Donkey Kong was the best though.

They still dress like the kids out the tricolore books over there man. And you still get Intersport in Norn Iron. And Nazi-related grafitti. Combat 18 ffs So called because at their peak they had 18 members.

230 pub closing on a Sunday afternoon.

230 pub closing on a Sunday afternoon.

 

We used to have a tradition of drinking of a Good Friday Afternoon then going for a curry on Ocean Road to fill the gap between 3 and 6 - in fact I think that carried on into the 90s.

 

On that note I think when the pubs started not closing at 3 it didn't half affect football crowds - I used to see loads decide to not bother with the match.

Blastaways - Castaway and Diamond white.

Blastaways - Castaway and Diamond white.

 

That was early 90's (for me).

[Gemmill 34640]

Used to be £1 a bottle of Castaway and £1 a bottle of Diamond White in Circus Circus from 7 to 8 on a Sunday night. Things tended to go south from 8 o clock on.

Just guessing but they would have came out late 80s I think.

I don't doubt that, but this is about the first time a Berghaus wearing charver first created the heady cocktail.

[Guest alex]

And I first started drinking in the late 80s, I might add

WHERE was Bliss again next door to Yell?

 

Maceys was the best bar on the BM I thought. Robinson's oh dear. It was impossible to talk to anyone in there.
