Pan-Am...Lockerbie is 13 miles from me. I was there that night.

I was at my Grans' in Norfolk for that... recall seeing it on the news, kept flitting between the nose and the houses iirc

9/11 I was out delivering that day. One of our customers said come and look at this on the telly just as the second plane hit, the mood in the van all day was quite somber as we listened to it on radio.

Diana death I remember well. Was out nightclubbing in southend(tots2000 before you ask Al ) and was in a taxi on way home with on of the fittest birds I have ever pulled in my life . When the driver said have you heard the news about Diana? Turned on telly when we got home and that was it I never got anything that night

Hillsborough I remember being around my dads I was 10 at the time and did really know what was going on. Just remember the guy screaming at a copper to help and the copper ignoring him

Herald of free enterprise I remember quite well to again sat watching tv when a news flash came on saying about the ferry, my only thought at being 9 at the time was how was we going to do our day trip to France if the ferry has sunk

Herald of free enterprise

I went on that to France in the 80's (and IIRC, came back on Pride of Free Enterprise)

was on holiday in Dorset when 9/11 happened but was glued to the telly later that day, got a phone call early in the morning when Diana's car crashed & went to the fun factory expecting to get sent to the scene asap but was sent home when it was announced she had died.

9/11 - lower manhattan, battery park city, right in thick of it

Surely he didn't try and pin that on you

Nah, Al ...

We got caught fair and square larking about.
Mr Mountjoy was an excellent teacher ... he merely sent-out the message loud and clear, that behavioural standards will be maintained in his classroom.
No more was ever said about this episode, fair play to the man

And if I'd told my late father ...
I'd probably have endured further punitive measures. He worked for the NCB; and would've been pre-occupied with Aberfan at this time, so I said nowt at home

9/11, had a great walk along North Norfolk coast, got back to Sheringham for a pint and saw it on bar T/V.
