Funnily enough this is one of the, "I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing, when", moments. Along with J F Kennedy & John Winston Lennon.
43 years ago today I was in Warwickshire on summer camp with the Lancashire Fusiliers Army Cadet Corp. Stuffing straw into a pallyass ( large bag ) to make my matress.
With JFK, I was working on a farm in Gt Harwood near Blackburn and was pushing a large wheelbarrow full of Shi--manure up the yard.
when I heard the news about Lennon I was driving my Hotpoint van along Milnrow Road near to my home.
I don't include Diana as I was in bed listening to the news on the radio alarm.
