list of things to shock PB!!
whenever someone returns from overseas incarceration eg. Terry Waite, Nelson Mandela, they always publish a list of what life was like when they were first "captured"..to illustrate the differences and what is likely to amaze them:
so here goes - for PB!!
in 1992...
-UK had just been kicked out of the ERM
-Major was PM
-I was at Uni!!
any ideas of a price of a pint of beer?!
PB would have "missed":
Diana's death
Queen mother's death
Inauguration of the Premiership??
Blair's Britain
National Lottery
any more?
badgers

Re: list of things to shock PB!!
I was just 11 so I don't know what a pint of beer cost in 1992
Here's my contribution anyway:
Scottish and Welsh devolution
Pop Idol
Tony Martin and the "protecting your home" debate
The end of the BT and British Gas monopolys
The rise of Asda Walmart and "all-in-one" superstores

Real ale sales down
Wine sales up
All Bar Ones and other pub chains have taken over town centres, although Starbucks and Pret-a-Mangers are making a fight of it.

Back in 1992 HIV was thought just to be a fad, but it seems to be very popular now.
