93. I remember Joe Brown climbing the Old Man of Hoy, hours of rock climbing on live television.

97. I remember when I first walked through a revolving door.
98. I remember Jack Hargreaves.

115. I remember the first record that I bought, which was Chuck Berry’s ‘My Ding-a-Ling’. The record I actually wanted to buy was Slade’s ‘Gudbuy t’Jane’, but I knew I would have to play it to everyone when I got home and thought that my parents wouldn’t like it.
