The difficulties we faced living in the 1980s.

1. We had to get up to change the TV channel.
2. We only had 3 or 4 TV channels to choose from anyway.
3. Wait a week for your photos only to find out they are rubbish and out of focus.
4. We had to wind down the car window ourselves using a handle.
5. Try to tape a song off the radio and try to miss the bit with the DJ talking.
