Take me back to March 20, 1992

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Friday, March 20, 1992. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Pisces. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.

Spring has arrived, and the days are starting to get longer. St. Patrick's Day of 1992 has recently come and gone. In America, the song "Save The Best For The Last" by Vanessa Williams is at the top of the singles charts, while "Stay" by Shakespears Sisters is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Basic Instinct is at the top of the box office. John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Texting is not a thing yet. Instead, people are using landline phones and pagers. Furthermore, most people have never heard of the Internet.

In fashion, many of the trends from the late 80s are still popular. Colored tights, denim overalls, leotards, flannel shirts and shoulder pads are all fashionable at the moment. A civil war is taking place in the African country of Rwanda. It's 1992, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Kris Kross, Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Right Said Fred, Snap! and Nirvana.

The 1992 Cricket World Cup is taking place in Australia and New Zealand. The trial of four police officers for the 1991 beating of Rodney King back is taking in Simi Valley, California. Following the recent collapse of the Soviet Union, President Boris Yeltsin has announced his government's intentions to create a new and separate Russian army.

Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton has become the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party after winning the primary elections in Illinois and Michigan. It is now likely that Clinton will face off against Republican incumbent George H. W. Bush in this year's presidential election. In the United Kingdom, the campaign for the 1992 general election is underway. Prime Minister John Major and the Conservative Party are hoping to retain power. However, recent polls have been consistently favoring the Labour Party, who are being led by Neil Kinnock. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Benny Hill, Robert Reed, Anthony Perkins, and Chuck Connors would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "MacGyver", "Married... with Children", "Star Trek: The Next Generation", and "Family Matters". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Paperboy", "Sonic the Hedgehog", "F-Zero", and "F-16 Combat Pilot". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Pingu", "Doogie Howser, M.D.", "The Simpsons", and "Round the Twist".

Popular toys at the moment include Screwball Scramble, Pogo ball / Lolo ball, the Ghostbusters Proton Pack, and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).
