Book excerpt: A humorous and nostalgic trip through a typical 80s childhood. Told through the eyes of a normal (ish) British kid from the Birmingham suburbs. A time when urban exploration on your bike was a day long adventure, a Wimpy birthday party the equivalent of a party on a celebrity yacht, Diamond White was a teenage rite of passage and people still wrote love letters and dreamed of winning the pools. Where no one did anything online and the only phones at home were landlines that probably had a lock on. 80s Kid tells the story of a different world, even though it wasn't that long ago.
