Last good British summer
 

Not talking in terms of weather only but trends/popular culture. Kids rave about summer 2016 but that weren’t a patch on the summer of 2006 partly because that was the last summer Big Brother was worth watching.

Italia 1990 was dope

2006 was all shades of elite.

Last summer was the best for a long time.

Beautiful weather, England World Cup run.

Not a patch on 2006 though.

Summer 2013, 16 and 18 were sexy

Not sure how you can keep saying this?

Surely this comes down to completely individual preference regarding age etc

Summer 1998

I think age plays a huge part in how we look back on certain summers.

I definitely agree with the 2006 shout but then that's because I was 16 then, started partying, had our prom, left high school, started college, and music was pretty damn good. (Hips Don't Lie, SexyBack, Lily Allen's debut, Killers' When You Were Young, I Don't Feel Like Dancin', Pussycat Dolls and Black Eyed Peas in full swing)

I also loved the summer of 2004 because I got crazy into the Euro tournament that year and holidayed with the school in Germany, made my closest friends, etc.

Loved last summer though. Any summer with a world cup or Olympics is automatically good (oh god, the summer of 2012 was amazing).

2012, 2016 and 2018 are the elite queens

I'm ashamed but this is in my top 3.....

Probably 1978...and Scotland in the world cup..squirting washing up filled water bottles at eachother in the rain cause it was so much fun in the blistering sun of 77...being crowned kerby king of dyers court...my cousin not sleeping in my tent cause it was so rainy that year...bliss..

:joker:...




2nd was 77...:shrug:

Ah kerby :love:

Actually now seeing your post my best ever summers where when I was kid rather than a teenager like I posted above

Kerby, grass fights, squeezy bottle water fights, camping out the back garden in tents made over the clothes line with bed sheets and clothes pegs lmao [emoji23]

Wasps in jam jars...only coming into contact with one or two dog ****es for the whole summer even though you were never off the grass..

Last series Big Brother was culturally relevant for one thing. Plus the culture of the time and not just for the music and World Cup. I dunno. I feel like we had a mini golden era round about 2002 to 2006. A lot of things changed from 2006/07 onwards as far as old-school trends go if you know what I mean.
