Von der hinteren Coverseite

Do you have fond memories of Knight Rider, Etch-a-Sketch or Raleigh Choppers? You wouldn't be alone. Books, broadcasters and newspapers have fed us a constant diet of why the good old days were so fabulous. They've made a warm, thick treacle of the past which we've bathed in for too long. This book finally pulls the plug on all that. The Crap Old Days is a savagely funny recollection of how things really were: Tiny Tears was a washout, the Flying Pickets fouled the airwaves and Subbuteo was just flicking daft!
