All the other things on the list I can certainly understand as belonging to a certain period (though really the trio of classic/Shakespearean actors were at their prime before our time, but I guess things sort of linger on for a certain while afterwards, ever discounting the Star Wars effect). However I am puzzled by the first two. Okay, I guess the Basque Country was maybe more in the news then and not now. But real tennis??? How is this something familiar to 30-somethings but not to 20-somethings? If I associate it with any period at all it is with Henry VIII!
