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?

Oops! That was 6 words - omit the word 'Perdio'.

Here goes .Trolls used to love doing their hair, radio Luxembourg, Ben sherman shirts, hot pants, although my legs were too fat, even then, lastly youth club nights, used to love it.
