Memorable Decades

They say the Sixties- by which I mean all that fabulosity and grooviness- only really happened to a few people- most of whom lived in London. I can't disagree. My sister owned the White Album and we listened to it quite a bit and otherwise- well- we didn't even smoke tobacco.

The same is true of the Eighties. No-one on my street wore red braces or marshalled lines of charlie with their credit card.  I was living in Greater Manchester, going though an adjustment in my marital arrangements and thinking mainly about theology.

Dino

My mother comes down stairs, indicates the large plastic dinosaur on the Welsh dresser and tells me, "He says he wants his price tag cutting off."
