15 years ago today...
« on: 31 August 2012, 09:28:27 »

Princess Diana died. Time flys eh?
I was driving my taxi listening to Talkradio when the news broke that Dodi had been killed outright and Diana was seriously injured.
Every passenger I told thought I was telling them some kind of sick joke and was waiting on the punchline.

I was on holiday, and didn't hear about it until my return (though did have an inkling from the Greek headlines on papers).

So I managed to miss all the media nonsense :D

We were just pulling into the ferry terminal at Dover, on our way to Italy when we heard it over the radio. Like TB we missed all the media nonsense...

I can't remember where I was. I remember waking up and hearing Fiona Bruce saying it mind you.

I was living in Sydney and quickly got fed up with every Australian asking me how I was, as if someone close had died....  ::)
