Since we were last in the top flight

They definitely did.

And Wham bars

That makes a lot more sense.

There was no HineyArt in 1983

There was Heineken though, on draught, and it was 3.8% and it was only about 70p a pint. I dont like that stuff they sell now, nor the price

The Queen is still Queen.
We still have a woman Prime Minister in thrall to an American President.
The Labour Party is still an electoral joke.
The Beatles are still the greatest band ever.
Something really interesting has still yet to happen in Bexhill.

I suspect the fame of Bexhill ended with the dreaded batter pudding hurler!!!

You see less people smoking on the bench these days (Denny Mundee was the last I can recall)... and in fact less actual benches...

When I was in hospital in 1980, they let you smoke on the ward!

Live Aid, all things Aid and Relief (charity I mean).
Freddie Mercury was still kicking it large.

Only 3 if you lived in some parts of mid sussex - am pretty sure we did not get Channel 4 until 1984 in HH.

Our football ground was stolen and demolished by some crooks.
Some heroes rebuilt everything from scratch

How ironic that our shirt sponsor in 83/84 was Phoenix Brewery?
And where are they now?

Not "since we were relegated" from the top league, I know, but to put the length of time in to another context, it's more time than it took beteeen the start of WWI and the end of WW2, and for Henry VIII to marry six different women, having been married to the first for 24 years...

Enough time has passed for Doctor Who to be cancelled (damn you Michael Grade), and re-commissioned again many years later!

 

[glasfryn]

a lot of Albion fans and supporters have passed including two of my best mates
they will be somewhere close watching

Gary Glitter was huge in the Universities and George Michael still liked girls.

Could anyone have predicted how it would have turned out for those two?

The Leader in the nick for the rest of his life and George dead and buried before the age of 54.
