Review

Being a man of middle age (whatever that age range is supposed to encompass - Collins English Dictionary says between 40 and 60), I am incredibly lucky to live in the period in which I do.
JKF was shot months after I was born (another conspiracy theory), I remember the Moon landings, the UK joining the EEC (as was) and therefore having new money in 1973, and going metric!
Growing up in the wonderful 70's, a truly unrepeatable decade for its seismic changes artistically, economically, socially and politically.
The advent of colour TV, mobile phones, PC's (and all their offspring).

As the replicant Roy Batty said in Blade Runner:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.."

I remain a lucky boy.
