History foibles

What major historical events do you remember?

Coronation of Elizabeth 2.

It rained, I was as bored as a five year old could be. Ugh.

JFK.

I was on my way to the Fairfield Halls to see some nonsense plays by Ionesco. How apt. We still don’t know the truth.

6 day war.

I remember the glee of my Jewish friend. Then, as now, one didn’t think through the consequences.

The miners’ strike

Everyone was right and everyone was wrong. I supported the miners in the interest of rights and freedoms.

The coronation of Charles 3.

I was as bored as a 75 year old could be. I considered Danny Boyle on loop for the day.
