Apparently people are taking to social media to post memories of their youth in 5 words. Some examples are:
'Trolls meant something totally different.'
'I had a Blockbuster membership.'
Mine would be :
'Attached to my Perdio transistor radio.'
What about you?

During that era during our work lunch break I went down to the gents barbers with my friend and she had her head shaved. She had lovely thick black hair before the break and went back to work as bald as a coot. I'll never forget the laugh we had. I can still picture her now.
