Back in the 80's I remember carrying a jelly bag (or rather it was like a plastic basket thing) and wearing matching jellybean shoes!! Not to mention tight skirts with a fluted edge and a bow on the top of the split at the back. Oh yeah, and don't forget the deeley boppers!! School uniform????? Wozzzat???!!!!!

When I was at primary school it was:
Micro machines
Musclemen
Football stickers
Those little coca cola footballs
Pretending you were Hulk hogan
British Bulldog

Hello kitty was big as we had a large population of japanese children along with kitty's mate little tudlelulixam (something like that he was a penguin). Japanese tissues and paper for origarmi. pannini stickers.
In secondary school one person would buy Just 17 or mizz and it would go all round the class, with the problem page being read first.

I remember this in my school too..... and if you had a copy of "More" you were considered really cool lol. I actually remember that the Just 17 problem page used to be used by the teacher in sex education/personal development lessons as examples of the sort of problems teens have.

More!complete with position of the fortnight!
My best friend gave me a copy of this,Hid it down the side of my bed, Thought it was pornography

I remember Jelly Bags and Jelly shoes. As for clothes a remember nagging my mother for skin tight dark demim jeans, the ones you need to be sitted on to do them up.

Those hopper things , with a ball in the middle and a disc all the way round that you stood on and jumped about.

The thing that was a ball with a plastic chain and loop on the ensd that you put around one foot and jumped over.

I find it really annoying everyone going round with identical bags from the same shop with the shops name in massive writing on the front just to show they shop in there. What's all that about!

Scoubies did my head in as well. As much fun they were to make they were just annoying having 50 million on your key ring

And I remember when lunchables first came out as well, I had them for a few weeks when I got bored of them and realised that they were actually disgusting and the cheese and ham didn't taste of cheese and ham!

I had red jellybean shoes which were made of plastic - sweaty feet lol. This was in about 1984!! I wanted one of those plastic basket bags but did not get one. I remember the skirts with the fluted edges I used to wear one to school - they were the latest fashion in about 1982/3/4.

My school uniform was a grey skirt with a blue and white checked blouse or plain white blouse and grey cardigan. Was there a trend in your school for army type bags and writing on them eg your favourite pop bands etc?
