Oh I don't know . .
Available housing, available jobs, cars you could fix yourself, washing machines that got clothes clean in less than 3 hours, knife fights were extremely rare, hard drug abuse was confined to the rich, the police did a better job, most kids got a decent education, brilliant rock music, environmental activists stayed up in their trees, no muslim nutjobs, TV was mainly interesting with no celebrity crap, you didn't need a 3 week appointment to see a doctor or dentist, the EU weren't yet arses, the phone (if you had one) wasn't constantly ringing with scam callers, a blackboard was a blackboard, and OMO was a washing powder.
