It was a time of Airfix models and wargames, conkers and frugality: having splurged on a mono record player, Geoff's dad discovers it's a portal to endless expenditure and funding for records is abruptly withdrawn.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But far from being a story of hardship overcome, \u003ci\u003eHomework\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration of opportunities afforded to Dyer's generation.
