    The snooker world championship is sponsored by Cazoo, so maybe they were protesting against gas guzzling cars? A bit tenuous...

    Apparently the official definition is 1946 to 1964, so I wasn't far out....

    Sadly the level of change needed on a global scale is probably not going to happen quickly if at all. The many millions of people living in poverty don't care about global warming when they don't know where the next meal is coming from.

    It was. All the service men gradually came came home to their wives and girl friends after six years away at war and not surprisingly, there was a sudden ‘boom’ in the population

    My Dad was conceived because it rained all day in Blackpool.

    He is a boomer and I'm bust.

    Gotta say the cleaning up video is probably more exciting then the prospect of a Joe Perry match anyway.
