Fly, I know what you mean. A time so near, yet so far away. In the 80s I saw many 'East End Barrow Boys' who worked the Thatcher dream. Bright coloured jackets, loud mouths, East End accents, and pockets full of cash. Working class but bright and sharp. Not like me...

Odd how familiar those fashions - and the people - seem. Just as remembered from childhood.
And what happened to all that? Blown apart by Thatcher and Reagan's Big Bang which let the banks loose.
