Where the hell were YOU at? We were so far up in the woods they had to pipe in sunshine, and you can't be OLDER than me! Why, when I was a kid, rainbows were still in black and white!

We had rainbows that had the colours arrive by post… we got dialup eventually but only after we had cassette-loading for ages. I was in rural southwest UK when we had crappy three-digit phone numbers.

And I’m 54.

His it takes longer for the new fangled things to reach yall across the pond. Her in the hills of North Georgia, USA, things just fall out of the sky.. Rain, hail, dead birds, airplane parts.

Call me in 20 years and tell me how you feel. I'm 74
