Chernobyl probably, I can mind there being a big of a panic in the playground going round about it, I’d have been in primary 4 so about 8 yo.
Canny say i was much into current affairs before then!
Was going to say challenger, but tbh I think i only found out about that a year or 2 later when we were doing a space thing in p6.
after that I can remember loads, but nothing before, the like of hillsbourough, piper alpha and enniskillen are big events that pop into my mind about the 80s that i have vivid memories of. I’ve vague memories of the 86 world cup.
Otherwise, the big events were climbing tree’s, 10-21ers and water fights! 😆
