No. I did have a ra-ra skirt in the eighties, but I wore it with the most gorgeous little olive green suede pixie boots and a flouncy white blouse. Actually I had several. These days I only wear trainers for running, I hate the damn things.

Frankie Say......ah, those were the days. Frankie T Shirts and Choose Life T shirts - they were Wham!. When George Michael had hair and still slept with women. I loved the eighties.

Never liked that film. Private Benjamin was my favourite movie of the Eighties. Also liked Bernard and the Genie - all time favourite Christmas movie.

Gloucestershire would be more "How many en-suites do you have in your beautifully refurbished Cotswold Stone mansion that you live in at the weekends whilst occupying a comfortable pied-a-terre in Westminster on Monday to Friday?"

Gloucester itself would be "How many £1 shops do you have in the town centre this month?"

At last count we had 4, but they close and open so quick.

Oh and I would take a Choose Life T shirt and an old Spandau record (yes Vinyl!) which the mice could polish to get rid of the scratches while singing about how cool the eighties were!

I remember the second lot of plastic discs that music came on too. They were much smaller but usually more expensive, but you could get blank ones to make your own, and one side was always really shiny.

Music? Discs? Shiny?

What madness is this you speak of? Did they fit in your iPod?

I doubt you are older than me, but if you remember Pogles Wood, which was a lunchtime childrens programme in the sixties, you must be getting close!

No they didn't fit in the Ipod. They came with the music already on them, and it couldn't be erased and reloaded with something different. Real Dark Ages stuff.

The cryptic messages that they used to scratch into the run-out grooves used to provide endless hours of fun. Ah, life was so straightforward then.

It wasn't one of the ones they revived in the nineties, it never achieved the cult status of The Woodentops, or Andy Pandy......but I liked it.
