You remember Whirligig, Six Five Special, The Appleyards, All your Own, Billy Bunter on the TV.....9 inch screen black and white....with a metal coat hanger for an arial, which seemed to work better than the very limited availability of ones you could buy in the shops. Not forgetting Educating Archie and Wakey Wakey on the Radio!
Watching Channel 4 news, I noticed that Jon Snow had a Pink Floyd book on the shelf behind him, "I don't imagine him as a Pink Floyd fan, he looks to old", I commeted.
My wife was the first to put the boot in saying that he didn't look much older than me, then my son followed up with the fact that Jon Snow is younger than Dave Gilmour.
And there you have it kids, apparently The Pink Floyd are no longer the youngest hippest band on the block.
A clip of Prince William taking his first steps on the Government House lawn in the early eighties in NZ still comes up from time to time. Makes me feel ancient to know I actually have more hair than William who’s going bald.
When you are relieved that you have remembered that the reason you were searching a drawer is to find a pair of scissors but by the time you find them you have forgotten why you wanted them.
In my view this needs to be someone "new", enthusiastic, probably young (under 30), with a fresh approach and ideas, a willingness to reach out to all and not carrying around previous baggage from the Trust, CARD, the museum, various supporters clubs, etc, etc.
That way nobody has a pre-judged opinion from the start and we can all equally slag them off from the get go.
Edit: Sorry, I meant "support", "Support them from the get go".
