We asked Lancashire Post readers about their favourite memories and the things they miss the most. And it threw up some interesting stuff. The 1990s were 30 years ago – seems like yesterday and aside from wishing they were younger and with a little more hair, the generation remembering the 90s were longing to go back to their nightclubbing and rave days. And missing cheaper petrol prices was right up there (79p a litre!), as was Tokyo Jo’s, the Spice Girls and the alcopop Hooch. READ MORE: Weird and wonderful things you will experience in Preston.

. Oasis
Music featured heavily in the things that people missed the most about the 1990s. And one of the biggest bands to come out of that decade was indie band Oasis. You lot were mad for them! Photo: Archive
. Being a kid
Many of you said you missed being a child and the easy days that came with it. That meant time to play with your favourite toys. And if you were really lucky you got your hands on one of these - it was one of the most sought after toys of the 1990s - the Thunderbirds Tracy Island Photo: Archive
. Cheaper prices
One of the things that people missed the most about the 1990s was the cheaper prices. The UK was coming out of the recession years of the 1980s, things were looking brighter, and everything cost a lot less! Photo: Gary Brunskill
. SEGA Megadrive
Being a kid in the 1990s meant playing video games and one of the consoles of choice at the time was the SEGA Megadrive Photo: Archive
. Hooch
The 1990s was the time of alcopops - low alcohol drinks mixed with something sweet like a lemonade flavour. Hooch was the main choice of this type of beverage Photo: John Atkinson
. Raves
The 1990s will long be known for the rave culture. Dance music was born and the people headed to abandoned warehouses, homes and even fields to listen to and throw some shapes to a genre of music that spanned acid house, hardcore, trance, techno, drum and bass and happy hardcore to name a few. The locations of these events were kept secret and the information handed out by word of mouth, often on the same day it was organised Photo: Channel Four
