Good to chat,Harry.We felt safe but we can all remember the close shaves we had...I remember a corporation bus taking the tip off my shoes as I ran in front of it under Wallgate Bridge.I was working in Manchester during the Cuban crisis and there was a strange edginess that descended over the City and a communal sigh of relief when Kruschev backed down.In the early seventies I worked at a public swimming pool for a couple of years and we were forever having to evacuate the building.I had to say over the P.A. system "There has been an incident, please leave the pool and the building immediately".What makes me happy today? I owe nowt to no one, my grand daughters and my garden.

8pm and a severe gale force 8 blowing out there...funny old Summer.
