lapal_fan Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I don't know why, but I think most people who were about and I've spoken to, regularly say that 96 was a great year. I was only 9 at the time, but I vividly remember going to Cornwall for 2 weeks summer hols, and it being the best atmosphere. Cool cars with windows wound down, driving through towns with Britpop pumping out, it was a great summer weather-wise too. There was a very cool feeling in the country and I can only compare it to 2012 when we held the London Olympics and I went to London.. The atmosphere was just uber positive and happy. Cool Britannia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dAVe80 Posted July 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2016 Yeah I seem to recall 1996 was a particularly good year. Good music, good films, a good Villa side (who won a trophy), and Euro 96. On top of that, I started getting served in pubs, and girls seemed to be everywhere. Nostalgia is sometimes a bad thing though. I know people who have never gotten over the mid 90s. They still believe Britpop to be the pinnacle of music, and refuse to believe that with the benefit of time, most of it wasn't that good. I still see them wondering around town, dressed head to toe in Pretty Green, pretending to be Liam. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I always say 1996 was the greatest year ever. I was 11, wish I was a few years older at the time (but not now). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 1996 - start of the glory years for me. I was 17, at college, had shed my school puppy fat and was successfully sticking my winky in lots of women and was learning to drive Euro 96. Britpop. Villa winning at the old Wembley. Good times, as Justin Lee Collins may have said before he went mental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
