Your views are vital - just like the word of the people was important when we spoke to all of these South Tyneside people 20 years ago.
Back in 2006, we asked locals for their views on everything from heatwaves to whether women were better than men.
We also wanted views on superstitions and mobile phones and, as always, you obliged.
Today, we are reliving those moments with a set of photo memories from the Shields Gazette archives.
We thank every one of the people who gave their views and here they are once more. See if you can spot someone you know.
And if you do, tell us more by emailing [email protected]
9. One last reminder
