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