Re: Historical events! Where were you?

9/11 I was in a charity shop in Leamington Spa when I heard people talking about what was happening in NYC.

Diana - we were on a campsite on the Pembrokeshire coast when we heard about it on the radio on the Sunday morning. We then went off for the day to a reconstructed Iron Age village. It started to rain and we went into one of the thatched round houses. There was a group of people in there sitting round a fire in the middle of the hut, talking about Diana, and it struck me things haven't changed much in 2000 years. They could have been Iron Age folk talking about their latest harvest rather than twentieth century people talking about a dead princess.
