Readers Respond: What was life like for you in the ‘80s?

We always sit and reminisce about the good ol’ days. 

And according to some of your responses, the ‘80s was a great time to be alive. 

None of us in the office would know, but this helps us get a glimpse of what life was like back then no matter if it was sad or happy.

Check out some of your responses below. 

Jenny Jones - I had my kids. My health. A husband. A car. Huge house. Everything was great.

Michael Woodhouse - A damn better sight than it is now.

Vicki Johnson - A great time for me. All my children were born in the 80s. I had a lovely life as a stay at home mum. So very different to today's world.

Kathryn Potter - Much, much better than now. Was in my 30s, had a great job, more money, a beautiful little car and enjoyed life to the fullest. Did not have a care in the world. Life was good. I just wish we could go back to those days, but sadly all gone!

Gillian Boyd - Busy was my first thought. The ‘80s passed me by in a whirl of pregnancy, babies, toddlers and endless washing of nappies.

Yvonne Doney - Was too busy being a wife/parent to notice.

Harriott Smedley - Yes, the best time of my life. I had met John, we married in 1983 and had a wonderful life together - 40 years all up. I miss him everyday.

Michele Garfield - Working hard and a bad break up with the man I lived with.

Sharron Millsteed Barker - Married the best man in the world in the ‘80s and had the most gorgeous son.

Diane Beatty - Working part time and coping with teenagers.
