Went to see The Jam in about '78, great times. They came into the chippy we went to after the concert and we were all too shy to ask them for their autographs!:o:D

Overall I thought it was quite good.
It made me think how lucky the men of my generation and their families( and indeed our children's generation) have been to miss a world wide war- our fathers and grandfathers weren't so lucky.
How would we have handled it? Hard to imagine but probably just like they did.

Wouldn't have had much choice Gordon, though I do think that as the generations progress we are becoming "softer". The sacrifices my Grandparents generation made, meant they wanted more and better things for us and somehow that has made us weaker. I'm convinced they were made of sterner stuff.

If it were truly a world wide war as opposed to conflicts like Afghanistan or Bosnia we'd probably all be annihilated in a few minutes.
