A Cheeky BLT and a Sausage Shocker!
Facebook posts and links from my friends are often about nostalgia, a Great British fascination recalling the golden days of Commodore computers, Rubik's cubes, footballers with perms and Sam Fox's breasts. So imagine the diversity in my delight when today, I did the exact opposite by experiencing what it is like going forward thirty years rather than back.
