I spent a few days recently on holiday in the town where I grew up. In my old “territory” really.
My overriding feeling was that I should be going round knocking on doors, searching out 45+ year olds and apologising to them for telling them that the end of the world as we know it would in all likelihood be coming before the turn of the century, and if not very soon after (cue picture in the Live Forever book).
Thank God no one paid me much attention back then
