Who try to hide their 10000 quid kitchens behind legality. Mobutu was better. Yes Gooey, and thanks to that bunch of mindless cretins, I had to give up Empire. Do not try to teach a pig to sing.

As for 1960, no, can't say I remember that far back. But, I do remember trains that had carriages that only had 2 rows of parallel seats facing with those racks above your heads with netting where you stored your luggage. The anxious times when I travelled in one of those opposite some weirdo and feared for my life and my honour!    Report

But we didn't have a television until after well after decimalisation (and I can remember what half a crown was).
