FRANKIE SAYS ... grown-up stories about growing up in the 70s & 80s

from £12.95

Fantastic new hardcover gifting book, based off the popular ‘Frankie Says’ blog and described by

Tony Blackburn as “great memories…great read…laugh-out loud”.

For those of us who grew up in the 70s & 80s, here’s the perfect excuse to take a nostalgic

trip down memory lane, via the pop culture of our youth, to a world we’re all far too old to

remember much about.

50 stories covering topics which range from Mix Tapes to Magic

Roundabout, One Hit Wonders to the Young Ones, Dangerous Toys to Doctor Who and

Schooldays to Summer Holidays.

Perfect as a gift for anyone who needs proof that things really were far better in the old days.

On school: “our exams had proper grades (A-F and U) and were marked strictly on the

basis of reflecting the pupil’s ability rather than cheering them up to improve their mental

health”

On sweets: “with Sherbet Dip Dabs you could pretend you were taking cocaine…though

that was both painful and a criminal waste of dip dab”

On Narnia: “his full name was Clive Staples Lewis which sounds like a description of the

goings-on in my primary school classroom”

On shops: “Freeman Hardy & Willis closed once people realised that buying sensible

shoes from a retail outlet which sounded like a firm of accountants wasn’t something

you’d want to brag about to your friends”
