Social-media users were indulging a bit of nostalgia yesterday as Twitter became a trip down memory lane as the hashtag ‘GrowingUpIrish’ was trending.
From medicinal cure-alls to cutting-edge phone-booth technology, forgetting to turn off the immersion to ignoring studying for exams safe in the knowledge that candles would be lit and prayers would be whispered, #GrowingUpIrish united all of us in the comforting glow normally associated with episodes of Reeling in the Years.
Here are some of the best tweets:
