But do you remember the day we stopped you in the street and got you on camera? We do, and here’s a reminder of the folk who kind-heartedly gave their views on the topic of the day in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
We asked you about train services in the bad weather, and what you thought about Eurovision. You had views on Sunderland station and much more too.
See if you can spot someone you know in our retro round-up as we say ‘thanks for the memories – and your comments’ all those years ago.
