81-82 there was quite a bit of that sort of thing

was there? I had no idea
-
google "broadwater farm", Brixton riots, toxteth riots, there were a few more. God you kids make me feel old sometimes.

on a slightly different slant, do the words "Orgreave Colliery" even mean anything to 20-something's these days?
-
I'm not a 20-something, but I don't know what that is. My view of the UK is an American one (so not all that well informed)
-
my image of the UK in the 70s-80s is Monty Python, Margaret Thatcher, Dr. Who, the royal family, etc.
-
add in the 3-day week, lots of IRA bombs, riots, and strikes, and you're close. Also The Goodies were way more popular than Python.
-
what happened to Dr. Who, by the way? I saw an episode from a recent season and was horrified.
