Over the years, we’ve lost quite a few amazing high street stores, from Woolworths to BHS. They disappeared from our streets in the recent years and we will probably lose more stores in the coming years. Here are 14 British high street stores, how many of them do you remember? 1. Woolworths. Woolworths was such a great shop, they sold literally everything, didn’t they! They had about 800 stores pen until their shock closure in 208. Woolies was founded in 1909 and it was the place to go as a child for a big bag of pick n mix, if…

Gemma Collins is the icon we didn’t know we needed… Gemma Collins and TOWIE. Amy Childs’ mother told TOWIE producers about Gemma, they went round to her house and filmed her and her friends for two weeks. She was hired and joined the cast in its second series in 2011. She went to the Sylvia Young Theatre School. When she was a child, she attended the school and starred in a production of The Sound of Music and was picked to represent England in a show in the Czech Republic. Stars like Amy Winehouse and Rita Ora also went to that school.…

There are some things that we just love to do and we can’t explain it, but they are just strangely satisfying. How many do you agree with? I guess that you can say that being a woman is oddly satisfying because there are things that things that are presumed about it and that’s okay because if people really know what we did in private, they might think so well of us! Therefore, we often keep these things under wrap but that doesn’t mean that we don’t enjoy doing them when we are sure that no one will witness it. The…

Worzel Gummidge was a walking, talking scarecrow who originally appeared in a series of books, that were later adapted for radio and television. Jon Pertwee took the lead role from 1979 to 1981 and this series was ranked among the 50 greatest British children’s programmes. Worzel had a set of interchangeable turnip, mangelwurzel and swede heads which suited a particular occasion or gave him a specific skill. Worzel lives on Scatterbrook Farm where he stood on a ten-acre field. He was friends with John and Susan who used to stay at the farm during their school holidays. The children used…

Growing up in the 90s meant a lot of different things. We were lucky enough to witness the start of the digital revolution and experience the mass of new games and games consoles that were being released. But, we are also so lucky in that we wanted to spend as much time as we possibly could playing outside with our friends. There was nothing more fun than the stupid games we used to play on the street with our friends after school or on the weekends. Whether that was kerby or knock a door run. The sad thing is, that…

How good were these little toys?! They were so popular with kids in the 70s & 80s, they flew off the shelves in every shop they were sold in. There were so many different characters you could buy that came with mini keypers in their stomachs that you got by unlocking their tummies with a key. Which keyper did you have when you were younger? Here are 10 Keypers you’ll remember from your childhood… 1. Joyful. Joyful had long hair, glittery eyes and you could unlock her tummy! You could braid her hair or put it in a little bun…

1. It helps with post-workout pain. If you’ve had a good nights sleep, you’ll be able to withstand an extra 27% discomfort during your next day workout. A minimum of 7 hours sleep would up your speed by 15% and boost your reaction time by 12%. 2. Weekend lie ins are important. To feel fully refreshed, getting 9 hours sleep for two nights a week is vital for you to feel relaxed and refreshed throughout the week. 3. The more sleep you have the less you’ll want to snack. Those who don’t get the recommended 8 hours of sleep a…

Everyone remembers Heath Ledger’s Joker, he was one of the youngest actors to take on the role and he did an absolutely amazing job at portraying the villain. [dx_pb_tag_manager] Some people believe that his methods of ‘getting into character’ went a bit too far, leading him to depression which eventually led to his death from an accidental overdose. [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_gI4i”] While he gave us the best Joker in Batman’s history, let’s take a look at what it was really like behind the scenes for Ledger to become the Joker. [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_3GVC”] RIP Heath Ledger. [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_sDCh”]

Having your head in between someone’s legs for the majority of the day doesn’t sound too pleasant. But gynaecologists are extremely professional & amazing at their jobs but there is a whole load of things that really annoy gynos you might not know… 1. Cancellations because of your period. Don’t cancel whatever you do. Gynecologists are NOT bothered if you’re on your period or not, they’re used to seeing all sorts of different vaginas, a bit of blood isn’t going to freak them out! [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_ZIkz”] [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_qQCt”]

The 90s was a glorious time. We had some of the best music out there, obviously we had the best fashion but most of all we were born into the beginning of the digital revolution. Whilst we spent a lot of our time playing outside as kids, we also spent a fair share of our time inside. Here are 12 things that we would find in every single house back in the day. This will definitely take you on a trip down memory lane. Enjoy! 1. L’Oreal There was absolutely nothing more painful than getting this in your eye. We…

1. Tupperware There was nothing more irritating than not being able to find the different lids for our tupperware boxes back in the day. We used to have a ridiculous amount of these lying around the house and there was nothing our mum’s loved to collect more than these. You would have though we had enough with the amount they bought! 2. Paperweights We all remember seeing these round the house all the time when we were younger. These were actually never used for their intended purpose – to hold down paper. Instead, these were used to help brighten…

We’re quite weird really when you think about it. We put beans covered in tomato juice on toast, then cover them with ketchup or brown sauce with a load of cheese. And we eat meals out of Yorkshire Puddings. Weird but delicious and it’s safe to say we love to eat carbs with carbs. Who doesn’t though! 1. Chip butties. Carbs with carbs is never okay. But it’s too delicious to say no to especially when it’s from your local chippy. 2. Chips and cheese. Yet another unhealthy British meal. It’s pretty hard to say no to a portion of…

Grange Hill was a British television children’s drama series originally made by the BBC which ran from 1978 up until 2008, which made it one of the longest-running programmes on British television. The programme was centred around the fictional comprehensive school of Grange Hill in the fictional North London borough of Northam. It followed the lives of the students as they went through school. It tackled a lot of controversial storylines and won numerous awards throughout the years. Here are a few things you might not have known about Grange Hill in the 1980s!  1. It was a school of…

There is no denying that we all used to love chewing gum when we were younger. There were so many different brands about when we were little! I think the thing we loved the most was the fact that chewing gum used to last for ages. There was nothing that gave us more pressure than deciding what we would spend our dinner money on once we’d saved it for the newsagents. We used to skip lunch so we could buy ourselves some treats from the shops on the way home. If you thought ahead, you would invest in some chewing…

11 Pairs Of Shoes We ALL Had In The 70s And 80s We’ve all made some interesting fashion choices in the past, we all look back on photographs that were taken of us when we were younger and just cringe. Why on earth did our parents let us go out looking like that?! We will never full understand our questionable fashion statements – from our hair accessories to our RaRa skirts… at least we can see the funny side now. We genuinely thought that we looked amazing, didn’t we? I think we always tried to model our fashion on the…

1. Fisher Price toys There was honestly nothing we loved more than the toys that Fisher Price used to bless us with. We would beg for gifts like these every time a birthday came along. Can you remember this dog? The toys used to be the most simple things ever, but we would managed to find hours of fun playing with them! This definitely brings back some great memories. 2. Old Spice This definitely brings back so many memories of my dad from back in the day. Everything he used to own had to be from the Old Spice brand.…

We can all agree that growing up in the 80s was amazing. Not only did we have amazing fashion, but there was incredible music and some delicious treats we could get from the local newsagents. Back then we weren’t drowned in technology which meant we really had to time to go outside and explore with our friends. In a way, we were so blessed to spend our youth outside – like kids should be doing! Here are 10 things that are guaranteed to take you right down memory lane and put a smile on your face. Enjoy! 1. Stick on…

Not everyone likes winter, but at least when we were younger we actually got snow days where we could play on our wooden sledges with not a care in the world. Here are 12 things that’ll remind you of winter when you were younger… 1. Frog wellies. Who had a pair of these? 2. Draught excluder. These things kept the draughts out.. 3. Gas fire. You’d have this blasting out in the winter when it was freezing cold. 4. Gloves on a string. If you lost your gloves you had nothing to keep your hands warm, so keeping them on…

We all remember the days when we used to go to our swimming lessons. There was nothing more fun than this, was there? We all have SO many memories from these days. This will definitely put a smile on your face! 1. Collecting The Frosties Badges How good did you feel when you could add another one of these to your collection? Who else had them stitched to their towel? 2. Just Using These Instead Of Trying To Swim These didn’t feel like they did a thing to keep you afloat, but the placebo effect was worth it… …

We all loved LOADS of the films from the 80s. It was easy to forget about some of the British films with there being so many Blockbuster hits from America. So, here are 10 British classics that we didn’t appreciate enough at the time! This will definitely bring back some great memories. 1. Rita, Sue and Bob Too! This was a British comedy film that was brought to us back in 1987. This was a risky film about two school girls who have a fling with a married man. We loved this film so much.. we can remember where it…

1. Soup bowls. My mum still has one of these in the cupboard, it still looks brand new! Can you remember where you got these from? They were given away at petrol stations. Remember? 2. Tupperware. Did your mum ever go to a Tupperware party? Whenever my mum went to one, she’d come home with even more tubs, cups and all sorts to fill the cupboards up. 3. Something from the Eternal Beau collection. Did your mum or gran collect any of these when you were younger? Back when we had hideously decorated homes, this collection fit in perfectly with…

We all know that the Body Shop was one of our favourite shops when we were younger. We spent ages in here finding the perfect things. What was so good about this shop was the fact you could find the perfect Christmas and Birthday presents in here! It was hard to go into the Body Shop and not spend anything. Here are 10 products we just HAD to have back in the day! Enjoy! 1. Fuzzy Peach We all remember this spray perfume from when we were younger. They had a range of different scents but this was my personal…

We all know that every good thing really has to come to an end at some point. However sad this may be we move on. We can all agree that the 70s and 80s was a GREAT time. The food, the music and the clothes were just some of the great things from this decade. But, sadly, all good things must come to an end! Here are 13 things we wish were still around so much. Enjoy! 1. Fresh milk on our doorsteps This was one of the best things ever when we were younger. We were lucky enough to…

We all know that being a kid of the 70s and 80s was truly something special. The food, the music and best of all the freedom that we used to have was absolutely incredible.

We all dreaded the back to school shop when the time came. However, the one part we LOVED about this task was the stationery. Here are the 16 pencil cases we all had throughout school. 1. Can of fizzy pop This was the absolute classic pencil case that every single one of us had throughout school. via/Ebay I think the most popular was the Pepsi one. 2.

Blue mascara Fashion back in the 80s was fairly crazy.. and this was confirmed when people started wearing blue mascara! We LOVED this trend though and all rushed out to buy…

1. Babycham via/Dailymail Did you know that this actually first came our back in the 50s? However, it was the 70s and 80s that this really became a huge hit for us all! 2. Cherry B We could say that this drink was ‘small but mighty’. It came in a tiny, little bottle but if you drank it neat then it was seriously strong. 3. Top Deck You might have been allowed one can of this when you were 16 and at a family party. This light shandy was something we all enjoyed! 4. Cinzano Bianco via/Morrisons Who can remember…

We all know that going to a British High School was a serious anti-climax. Especially when it is compared to some of the ridiculous things we see in films – grand halls made from rich mahogany and libraries that are graced with many leather bound books. But, the reality was something completely different and 100 times more basic. Here are 19 things that only kids who went to a British High School will understand. Enjoy! 1. The expectation of your main hall: You expected something grand and regal for your high school. The reality: When it came down to it,…

1. These information videos The hedgehog crossing the road videos were out there in order to help promote road safety. These little hedgehogs became iconic and as soon as we saw one we could instantly relate it to the videos that we got shown in school. 2. Juicy Fruit chewing gum This was ALWAYS the best chewing gum that was on offer for us when we were growing up. We could easily go through a full packet in just one day.

Claire’s was a haven for all 0s girls. Whether it was to get your ears pierced or buy your weekly lucky bag, Claire’s was the place to go. We were all guilty of making huge fashion mistakes when we were younger and no doubt most of the items were bought in Claire’s… 1. Getting your first ever piercing sat in the window of Claire’s. Because where else would you go for your ear piercing? I sat in the window hoping someone from school would walk past me and see how much of a badass I really was. 2. Getting the…

We all remember the advert don’t we? Even now, after all these years, every time I see a loaf of Hovis bread, I think of the little boy pushing his bike up Gold Hill. It was one of the most memorable adverts of the 20th century, don’t you think? The 1970s brought us a lot of memorable adverts, this being one of them. But whatever happened to the little boy pushing the bike? Well, Carl Barlow was only 13 when he pushed the bike up the big hill in Dorset. Now 40 years on, he returned to the place where…

This show first came out way back in the 60s! The first official episode was released in 1969! Which seems like only yesterday. The show was extremely popular and lasted on air for about 4 years. Following on from the ridiculous success, three feature films were created in its footsteps.

However, they made the correct decision to stick to this show and see it through to the end! via/Pinterest Olive…

Remember Mary Smith? She was Walford’s original wild child who often made her life more difficult for herself by being stubborn and defensive. Mary was her own worst enemy who pushed her friends and family away. She arrived in Walford in 1985 and stayed on the square until 1988. Her occupation whilst on Eastenders was a stripper and a laundrette assistant, whilst in Walford, she fell pregnant, starts taking drugs, begging on the square and becomes a prostitute – it’s safe to say she had some interesting storylines. But where’s she been since leaving the show?…. After leaving the show,…

Teenage girls practically live in their bathrooms, pampering themselves and applying layers and layers of make-up.

She got sent to live with her Grandfather in the mountains, she quickly discovers that it is such a magical place until it all gets taken away from her. This series first came out way back in 1978. Katia, the Austrian star, was only 11 years old when she began to star as the main character in this series. This programme is the one she is most…

They were the best TV Shows back in the day, and we would ALL wish we were on them (especially Get Your Own Back when your mum wouldn’t let you leave the table until you’d eaten all your veg). Although we probably never applied to go on any of these when we were younger, we still had daydreams of us going on them. Whether it was completing the Way of the Warrior on Raven or collecting the Ruby monkeys on Jungle Run, we pictured ourselves smashing these game shows! Did anyone else used to get so into it that they…

Brookside lasted 20 years on our screens, started in 1982 and ended in 2003. Here are 13 things I bet you never knew about Brookside! Enjoy 🙂 1.

Some of the properties were used as post-production and canteen facilities for the cast and crew. 3. The houses have been renovated and are now used for the interior scenes in Hollyoaks (1995). I bet you…

This Test Paper Our GCSE’s were probably one of the hardest things we had to do back then, and how we hated them. I don’t know about you, but I was 90% sure that I’d fail maths and science. When we ha to sit down to actually take the exams, I nearly had a heart attack – it was the worst.

Yeah, because knowing what Simon…

1 – Mini Bean Bags Every PE lesson was boring as hell, but then there would be one lesson when the teacher got these out and everyone would go insane. You loved played with these things. Well, actually, you just loved throwing them at people and terrorising all the other kiddies. These were the perfect weapons – they left no bruises or marks. 2 – Bucket Stilts These must have been the most impractical things in the entire world, yet we all had some at one point.
