You: “Mum, I’m bored.” Your mum: “Only boring people get bored.”
First of all, there was literally nothing to do at the weekends – except "town".
Which meant you and a couple of friends meeting up in the town centre, hanging around in the exact same shops without buying anything for as long as you could bear it, getting a frappuccino from Starbucks and then going back home again.

You spent a lot of time in shops like Virgin Megastore and HMV searching through discount CDs and DVDs you'd never even heard of.
When you wanted to go shopping properly, you had to travel to the nearest city.
Because you couldn't buy your entire wardrobe at Next and Dorothy Perkins.
Your pub choice was very limited, because a lot of them were either pretty rough or pretty grim.
