“If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again.”

Summer solstice eh? downhill from here then? It'll be Christmas before you know it etc. etc? But what about the elephant in the room Billy?

"Proud to stand beneath the union jack?
Happy dealing up a no ace pack?
Polishing black boots
Priming the riot squad
There go I but for the grace of god
Covering up the agony with mindless entertainment
You'll be happy when they're ripping up the pavement
Bringing down the axe on steelworks and foundries
Someone said love knows no boundaries
Close your eyes and think of England
Lie back and think of her"

Ah the 1980's !

“When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always be worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.”
