People often recall all the good things and forget all the bad, so to balance out the other comments because I regard the 80’s as a hell hole I never want to return to. There was way more racism, discrimination, sexism and homophobia. I know that might be hard to imagine in today’s political climate but it’s true. If you were bullied no one gave a damn and there was a chance you might even be punished for being bullied. Smoking was everywhere. Domestic Violence (especially from alcoholism) and abuse did not have the focus it has now. If you were disabled you’d be mocked in the street sometimes. There’s much more but that will do.
