We’re doing up our kitchen and when we lifted up the flooring, there was this old paper from 1986
Fascinating stuff. Prince Charles love life, Thatcher and Westland, flying on Concorde, Diana groomed by Charles like Eliza Doolittle, Neil Kinnock sounding off on the economy, Robson sent off and videos tapes for rent!
I’m in the dog house for stopping to read when I’m supposed to be helping!
Oh I would have stopped to read it too! Fascinating stuff. Somewhere I have a copy of the London Evening Standard nearly 50 years ago. I kept it because my horoscope said that I would be ‘putting in extra hours of labour’ the next day. They were right - my son was born the following evening!
On a similar theme, (I think) I have kept the daily newspaper from the day each of my grandkids was born to give them on their 18th birthday.
I love anything like that … I’d have been down tools for the rest of the day too.
I like this and often have a peek.

Today’s date seems to be about IRA bombing … a Russian cosmonaut dying in space …First Britain dies in Falklands campaign … the Baader-Meinhoff embassy standoff.
What a lovely thought, Bruce.
