There weren't videos around till I was... about 15 and then they were still new and only a few in the back of the local garage/petrol station (and some of them under the counter) so we didn't do the 'watching over and over' as much as kids do now (and I think you're a bit younger than me Niamh so you probably enjoyed the video age earlier than I did!). It's hard to imagine it now... not being able to just get any film you want online or on dvd or whatever!<br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246801426821066145.post-36646665618408702292013-02-19T22:26:46.869+00:002013-02-19T22:26:46.869+00:00It's funny isn't it, there's nothing q...It's funny isn't it, there's nothing quite like that excitement of knowing every line and watching films three times a night at sleepovers... for us it was Grease and Girls just wanna have fun (that was a film, wasn't it?)Niamh Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519443787482685320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246801426821066145.post-62554061237982270622013-02-16T09:20:11.556+00:002013-02-16T09:20:11.556+00:00OK, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration... b...OK, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration... but you know what I mean.<br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246801426821066145.post-1763511004284614572013-02-16T09:18:43.088+00:002013-02-16T09:18:43.088+00:00"Education made me an orphan"... wow.

It wasn't like that for me (my Mum was an education pusher... had to be stopped from saying "oh dear" when someone said they hadn't been to university in later years...) but I did feel a bit like Rita when we moved to London when I was 16. It seems funny now, in this age of movement, but then (1983) moving from Middlesbrough to London was a bit like arriving on Earth from Mars! <br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246801426821066145.post-86740399633279595582013-02-15T20:05:56.251+00:002013-02-15T20:05:56.251+00:00Love this.
