WELCOME to our midweek bygones as we take Tizer readers back in time to 1982.
Once again it was a troubled time in the country with unemployment recorded at over 3,000,000 people for the first time since the 1930s while an Argentine scrap metal dealer raises the Argentine flag in South Georgia, Falkland Islands – a British overseas colony.
This would soon spark the Falklands War.
In the same year Israeli ambassador to the UK Shlomo Argov is shot in London, an event which provoked the 1982 Lebanon War.
It was not all bad news however and the The European Court of Justice ruled that schools in Britain could not allow corporal punishment against the wishes of parents.
The fourth terrestrial television channel, Channel 4, began broadcasting, the first programme being broadcast was the game show Countdown, hosted by Richard Whiteley.
Another flagship programme was Liverpool-based soap opera Brookside.
Meanwhile life in Oswestry, north Shropshire and the Welsh border counties continued as ever.
