Obviously things in 1966 turned out well, but it would have been nice if they'd done a bit in other areas of the country.Matthew Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842392964784000029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-59817538272262249182010-06-19T10:28:11.370+01:002010-06-19T10:28:11.370+01:00Wasn't it White City where that David Cassidy ...Wasn't it White City where that David Cassidy fan died from over-excitement (the gig that was the catalyst for his early 'retirement')?Bright Ambassadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123057194595392156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-22238733696315564812010-06-17T20:39:26.344+01:002010-06-17T20:39:26.344+01:00I'll keep an eye out for that one ~ I'm su...I'll keep an eye out for that one ~ I'm sure you've read it, but Trains and Buttered Toast is his genius in a pocket size format, and so forward thinking.Mondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199468951602465556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-13499114064441344962010-06-17T13:58:31.841+01:002010-06-17T13:58:31.841+01:00My flatmate trekked off to White City stadium to g...My flatmate trekked off to White City stadium to get tickets for the dogs for someone's birthday and we were all really looking forward to it. Only this was 1988. When she got there she asked a passer-by where the stadium was they just laughed and told her it had closed five years previously. <br /><br />Well, how were we to know?Jon Peakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04471926651090670258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-47728801582180398202010-06-17T11:10:35.727+01:002010-06-17T11:10:35.727+01:00Metroland is a masterpiece; Betjeman could do no w...Metroland is a masterpiece; Betjeman could do no wrong in my eyes.
