The 80s was a good decade as many have said, life was simpler, we amused ourselves with board games and we all came together on Christmas day in the evening, The Internet has made a huge impact but not always for the best.

Life was better before internet and mobile phones.

It’s true that back in the 80s they went all out with wall to wall Christmas ads. It was solid in the run up to Christmas and when it came it was a proper holiday. Everything shut down and it was you and the family going through the thick Radio Times deciding what to watch.

Trollop 7 The whole idea of Christmas has been lost!, we have to be so PC about things now, for fear of upsetting someone! The main principle of Christmas is celebrating the birth of Christ, yet we can no longer have Christmas plays at ALL primary schools for fear of upsetting someone or someone’s faith! We no longer have grottoes with Father Christmas in ALL shopping centres for fear of upsetting someone! The shops have commercialised Christmas with putting way too much stuff in stores in October instead of December so elongating the commercial side of Christmas! Christmas should be treated with respect and a special time of year, bringing the spirit of Christmas alive! Christmas was Christmas back in the 80’s it was a happy and joyful time, with the feelings and excitement of Father Christmas coming to drop a present or two! Department stores used to have huge decorations and a grotto in store! Christmas carols would be sung at your door! We remembered the birth of Jesus Christ! With visits from the local church and we visited the local church to sing carols and acknowledge the birth of Jesus Christ! There was little technology and the internet back then, as more people would drop round for a Christmas toast, Christmas parties and it made it more fun and cosy! Technology in my mind now spoils the feelings of Christmas too! Many will sit glued to their phone, messages sent instead of Christmas cards etc! Now it’s Happy Holidays! Christmas carols have to be censored, Christmas decorations are banned in places for fear they could offend people of other faiths! It’s just not how I remembered! Do you remember it like that or are you born after the 1980’s? I am sorry if I have upset you and your faith by discussing my own thoughts on this matter, that is not my intention!

Bejam could have bought Iceland 10 times over... The top man wanted more time with his family so sold up for probably less than he needed... the risk could have bankrupted them

Indeed 3:56 Peter Gabriel is 69

VHS videos at Woolworths stores... those were the days.. 😉

Could do with being back in the 80s now.

Thank you for assembling and posting !

Back when Pennywise was a just a store and not a scary ass evil clown.

I love these so much, and I wasn’t even around in the 80s 😂

Haha I remember so many of these... I don't remember beer being so cheap though lol

The Co-op advert is from the Anglia region, and nice to see Rainbow getting the top billing there.

I love this channel feel like im 10 good memory's thanks for the great work neil

Nostalgia overload.

Is anyone here suddenly desirous of the products advertised above after watching this?

Let’s be honest people, it was better then.

No. It wasn't.

Wow the nostalgia. I forgot about Woolworths, it was a great shop, I remember it had lots of Christmas chocolate and other interesting treasures in there all very cheap, perfect whilst Christmas shopping as a teenager. I remember me and my brother always seeing a carpet advert one Christmas and singing the song from the ad. Most people didn't have much money but we appreciated what we had. I hope we can all return to the values of the past as I think we went wrong with excessive technology and now the covid dystopia.

Wonderful memories from a wonderful much more simpler time. We have gained a lot since then but lost so much more. Greed has made Christmas soulless and empty. We have more to watch on Tv 📺 but most of it is rubbish. These adverts make want to go shopping the old fashioned way, with cash instead of apple 🍏 pay. I miss Christmas 🎄 how it used be.

I used to pinch my dad’s Old Spice to impress the girls at youth club. Didn’t work.

I'm 48 and I still love the smell of Old Spice and Brut!

Janie Holland Brut was a classic. The other one was Denim, but I was a sophisticated lad and didn’t think Denim had the same level of class as Brut or Old Spice!

I'm fifty years old now but these seem like they were on television a couple of years ago 🤔🤔

Watching all these now just shows how wank Christmas is today, kids don’t av a clue now a days

Best thing about evolution of technology is the ability to look back on the good old days. When you could pull Linda Lusardi if you drank Harp lager!!!! I was only 10 back then, blissfully unaware of what the future had in store. Come on technical people!!!! How's that time machine coming on????????

Excellent stuff, thanks for uploading.

I had a Kodak camera like that, piece of crap! Love these ads, but why does it make me sad?
