In this fearful post-Brexit world it’s now more important than ever to remind ourselves of a simpler time, a time when people could all agree on the same issues.

Like the unbreakable Nokia 3310 being the best phone on the high street, for the example, or how receiving the Blue Peter badge was infinitely more impressive than any other honour ever.

Here are some of the highlights...

No assembly required

Paper towels cured everything

Jessica Fletcher was always around

MSN was the only way to communicate

The first phone everyone had
