You are dead right, Rindi. I was 17 and there was a debate on the telly between Richard Nixon, who I had heard of, and Jack Kennedy. I wasn't really interested, I knew nothing about American politics, but as soon as Kennedy started speaking I just knew he would be the next president. His youthful good looks grabbed my attention first but it was the charisma that hooked me.

They say everyone remembers where they were when Jack Kennedy was shot. I certainly do, I was 7 months pregnant with my first child and sitting with my feet up, just after my tea. I can still visualise it coming on TV when Mike Scott interrupted the programme with the news. I cried all that evening.
