David, You just pack your stories with blasts from the past that stir up vivid images and sounds from my youth. The ABC Regal cinema in Hull on a freezing cold winter evening, I was there (about 10 years before you). Bullitt , I moved to San Francisco in 1968 and with a week had purchased a blue Ford Mustang and drove down the same hills as McQueen (a little slower). "Sweets for my Sweet" by The Searchers is one tune that sticks firmly in my brain after more than 60 years. And finally I remember gluing my ear to the old radio at home trying to catch the weak intermittent signal from Radio Luxembourg to hear Alan Freed's shows. Thanks for the memories!
