The 80s were the best decade

Think about it for a minute. After the post-war asuterity of the late 40s and early 50s there was the explosion of freedom and fun of the 60s. What a time thave been in your 20s.

I am not sure that the 70s really stood a chance of following that, and after bell bottoms and huge sideburns had clearly failed, it was time for the 80s to step up to the plate.

And step up they did.

They gave us Milli Vanilli. Michael Jackson was still a black dude. We had Wham. Queen rocked us. I was in my 20s.And climbers got lycra.

Was this the face that launched a 1000 ships? Nope. But it made me start climbing in lycra. Steve Lewis on 7th Toad. Thanks to whoever has copyright on this photo!
