Poll question: Back in the day.
When you hear or read a reference to 'back in the day',
what decade comes to mind?

1. I am a child of the sixties.
And learned to distrust politicians in the seventies.

3. For me, the 1980s or 1990s
because that's when I grew up.

5. I think of the 30-40s
That's when my parents were young, and that's when things were really different, even compared to the 60-70s, when I was a kid. My dad is always talking about how it was back then.

6. For me, late 70's, early 80's,
unless I have to figure out what the one I've heard it or read it off means by it. If it's my grand mother telling me this (who turns 97 this year) it goes back quite some time. :hi:

10. The world officially changed in 1986.
That's why the 1970s are winning.
