I’m sure Yellow Submarine was on BBC TV not long after being made. I didn’t see it in the cinema, but I certainly saw it when I was living at home - i.e. pre 1971.

Hi, a friend has since told me it was first broadcast in 1974. which would make sense as I was a mini-me.

HNY from Fife!

The Dredd book sounds interesting. I spot real world Dredd references all the time and always wonder if the originator was a fan or if it’s just great minds thinking alike. This past year I passed through Frankfurt airport where they had “smoking rooms”sponsored by Camel — exactly as first seen in Mega City One!

And a HNY to you! Fife? Do you live near any of the Fence collective? :-) And in regards to Frankfurt airport... you could not make it up.🙄

Possibly… never bumped into them. Most are round the East Neuk I think — However, I am pally with members of Spare Snare in Dundee

Refreshing read. Inspiring. Pinched the 'lower your expectations' its now my WhatsApp profile picture. Cambridge tomorrow? Closer Clarice. Any gap in the day for a random stray to rock up? :)

Hi! Sorry. I'll actually be heading to Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire. There in the eve to take a house apart and bringing it back up north the following morning. No time on this trip I'm afraid.

Barter Books is one of my favourite places. Excellent cake in the cafe too. I took a bunch of books there years ago hoping for a bit of cash but they gave me a ridiculous amount of credit which kept me going for years

Ah, I wondered how it worked.. I thought the ‘barter’ bit was all about haggling. :-)
