THROWBACK SATURDAY — WHO REMEMBERS? 😊
Choosing a movie used to mean a trip to the video shop… and sometimes the family debate lasted longer than the film!
Here are five memories to put a smile on your face:
- “Be kind, rewind!”
- Returning your video on time was important. Returning it rewound? That was good manners!
- Waiting for your photographs.
- You handed in the film and hoped for the best. A week later, you discovered who had their eyes closed… or whose thumb covered the lens!
- Saturday night dancing.
- Polished shoes, your favourite outfit and the courage to ask, “Would you like to dance?” Then hoping the next song was a slow one.
- The family telephone.
- One phone. In the passage. Everybody listening. And someone shouting, “You’ve been talking long enough!”
- Meeting friends without a WhatsApp group.
- “See you there at seven.” Somehow, we found each other—and always found something to laugh about.
There was plenty we could complain about back then, but these little moments still make lovely stories.
Which one takes you straight back? Tell us your number—and share a memory of your own. I’d love to hear it.
