….that is a brilliant memory. I can imagine that was very much a ‘where were you’ moment.

Weird how they stick in your mind. I remember hearing my Mum talking to a neighbour at the back of Lytton St in Everton about JFK being shot. A lot more recently, heading to a meeting in Leeds on M62 near Brighouse when it came on the radio that Alan Ball had died.

I have a shared JFK memory too but I also remember being in California in 1980 and for some reason they were playing a lot of John Lennon songs on the radio.

Is that George Henry Lees? If so many happy memories from there as a kid, my mum used to buy fabric from there, back then it was cheaper to make your own clothes and soft toys.
