It was just before the Internet boom, in the times before kids were glued to their phones. It was probably the last decade when kids were truly free of modern technology. It was when TV still only had four mainstream channels which taught lessons in patience by having to wait a full week for the next episode. And memories of the shops, they were the only browsing we did in those days. It was also the decade when the Big One first opened. My clearest memory was queuing up and getting to the front, only to step on the ride and step off again at the other side of the carriage! Much to my friend’s disappointment. I didn’t fancy the hike up to the top of the UK’s tallest rollercoaster, too scared. What are your stand out 1990s memories?
