    Literally everything.

    Cars.

    Suits* (I've still got a particularly hideous example in the wardrobe).

    Wallpaper.

    Oh, I can hardly wait.

    Are flares and bellbottoms pencilled in to return?

    They're a bit easier to get on & off than these slim jeans and trousers of today.

    Though you have to be a bit careful when it's windy or you could take off.

    I'll take simplified taxation and bellbottoms without any arguments! Loved flares, though they did seem to be making a comeback this year, another thing lost to the pandemic.

      Oh, the taxation wasn't simplified, that was just the basic rate.

      The top rate was 98%.
      When the fun stops, STOP.
