    Yeah I miss the past and happy bygone days of my mother crying when my brother was posted to Belfast just in time for Sunday bloody Sunday,then to Long Kesh prison and the hunger strikers (hope I spelt it correctly).I miss the riots of the 70's watching pit after pit close and communities destroyed by two peoples egos,the blackouts,the dustbinmen walk out,not being able to bury your dead.

    Vietnam was a scream,watching kids being burnt to death by napalm.The roar of US planes taking off from UK bases.Then there was the Bay of Pigs fiasco,the nuclear stand off and the assassination of JFK,the attempts on the Popes life and the bombings on the streets and cities of England.

    What a laugh life was for the poverty stricken slum dwelling kids of the 50's and 60's,outside loos shared with your neighbours,tin baths no running hot water and when we joked that central heating was obtained by having a fire in the centre of your 'front' room.The smog,measles polio etc.Yes I miss all that...like a hole in the head but at least we had an 'in touch' PM with MacMillan who reassured us that we never had it so good.

    And don't mention the wars Mr Fawlty..I mentioned it once but got away with it....
