Take me back to November 16, 1992

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Monday, November 16, 1992. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Scorpio. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "How Do You Talk To An Angel" by Heights is at the top of the singles charts, while "Would I Lie To You" by Charles & Eddie is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Bram Stoker's Dracula 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. 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. In fashion, many of the trends from the late 1980s are still in vogue. Colored tights, denim overalls, leotards, flannel shirts, and shoulder pads are all fashionable at the moment. Grunge fashion has also become mainstream, popularizing band t-shirts, ripped jeans, mom jeans, and Doc Martens. A war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Meanwhile, the breakdown of Prince Charles' and Princess Diana's relationship is continuing to receive widespread media attention. The Royal Palace has been forced to officially admit that there is a rift between the two and quotes from an explicit phone call between Prince Charles and Camilla Shand have recently been published in the tabloids. In boxing, Riddick Bowe has beaten Evander Holyfield to become the new undisputed heavyweight champion. In music news, Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne has performed at the last concert of his retirement tour.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Audrey Hepburn, Thurgood Marshall, Andre the Giant, and Bobby Moore would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Matlock", "The Wonder Years", "In the Heat of the Night", and "Roseanne". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Street Fighter II: The World Warrior", "Ecco the Dolphin", "Kirby's Dream Land", and "Super Mario Kart".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Fireman Sam", "Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers", "The Simpsons", and "Goof Troop". Popular toys at the moment include the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Pogs / Milkcaps, X-Men Action Figures, and California Roller Baby.
