The world found itself in the midst of a recession in 2008, after the global financial crisis the year before. Gordon Brown was Prime Minister and Labour were still in power. The average price for a UK house was £179,363, while a first-class stamp cost 36p.
Portsmouth, Wigan and Blackburn were still in the Premier League, and Lewis Hamilton became the youngest ever Formula One World Champion.
It was also the year that the Liniar window system was launched during a very difficult financial climate.
Fast forward to present day and we find ourselves under a Conservative government negotiating Brexit under the leadership of Theresa May.
Average house prices have risen to £226,071 and a first-class stamp will cost you 67p.
Portsmouth, Wigan and Blackburn have suffered a sharp decline in footballing fortunes, while Lewis Hamilton has won the World Championship
a further three times.
