The thing I remember about living in the UK in the 80's is that there was an economic boom where people became wealthier. Not just the equivalent of dotcom billionaires, but your average blue collar worker.
It was enough of a cultural phenomenon that there was a comedian created a character called "Loadsamoney" - a cockney carpenter that was earning massive amounts of money.
People moan about "boom and bust" economies, but for the last 20 years I think all we have had is "bust" and no "boom".
