    Hello @pollyanna1052 When I was born the world started smiling again.  Then GOD broke the mould as there is always only one @thespiceman .

    Born in a time in the 60's Have a guess Oh Pretty Woman top of the charts.

    Roy Orbison.  His third number one.  

    The Beatles touring and had the first of many hits that year. In America took the five places on the bill board top 100.

    Good luck

    A general expression for anyone born in Wiltshire, but predominantly in Devizes.
    its origin came from stories of smugglers trying to recover casks of brandy from the river and telling customs officials they were trying to rake the moon from the water.

    I was given a Crackerjack pencil by Leslie Crowther who made his eyebrows dance for me when the Crackerjack team performed at the Christmas party held for the children of staff at the MoD depot where my mum worked - must've been about 1965.

    Hull, 1993 and somebody asks me the other day whether I was alive when Teletext was about. I was so sorry for that person having missed out on the experience of Teletext...
