82. "Two prime examples this decade" is the clue, Sue, and my stab at the answer is "1973 and 1979". These two are prime number years within the decade (1970 to 1979) that the Quiz is all about. A prime number is a number that is only divisible by 1 or itself - if you knew that, I am sorry to be so pedantic.
This is the only help I can offer you at present, as I am "stuck" on the remaining ones in your list above, plus these :- (Can you assist ?) :
59. 2520 in Phuket but what about here ?
90. Inside the perimeter of Stone Park.
92. Steptoe and daughter ! Who was she ?
99. 4077 on the menu ?

To Suequiz : Sorry to "muscle in" on your posting, but I thank all who gave answers so far, and helped me - and I hope helped you as well, Sue. With the rapid approach of the closing date, I hope that a few more clues can be solved in the meantime.
