Recent history is just as important as the events of 50 or more years ago.

Do you recall the growth of pop music in Britain in the 1960s?

Perhaps you went to an early Rolling Stones or David Bowie performance?

Do you remember what you were doing when man first landed on the moon in 1969?

The 1970s were a time of political change and unrest, Britain joined the EEC and Margaret Thatcher became prime minister.

How did any of that affect you? What were you doing

during the three-day week in 1974?

The 1980s were the decade Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles married the 1990s were the decade when the British mourned Princess Diana's tragic death. Did you do anything to mark these occasions?
