EVERYONE (well, most people) had big hair and just didn't care - yes, that's right, this week we're talking about the 80's.

We've been taking a trip down memory lane with our readers to what is now 40 years ago (!).

Reminiscing about the good old days in Wrexham when punk fashion was in and video games were just becoming popular.

We asked our loyal Leader readers; 'If you could bring back one thing from 1980's Wrexham, what would it be?'

And the answers we received were, as always, brilliant.
