If you had a time machine and could travel back 20 years to the simpler time of 2003, what aspect of daily life would you most like to bring back to the present day? For those with short memories, or who perhaps weren't born yet, let me paint the scene: Labour is in government, Where is the Love is the biggest-selling song of the year, and Apple has just introduced the iPod3 with a capacity for up to 10,000 songs.
It's the year of the final broadcast of Blind Date and the first announcement of a new Dr Who reboot. Velour tracksuits are in fashion un-ironically; Bennifer is in its first incarnation, and the average house price in the South West of England is £174,482.
It's also the year that Bar 44, a restaurant group specialising in tapas and sherry, opened its first location in Cowbridge. To celebrate reaching adulthood, the company, which has a popular Clifton outpost, is doing the unthinkable this January and bringing back some of its classic tapas dishes and cocktails at the price they were when the first Pirates of the Caribbean film hit the cinemas.
