At the time the only SF I knew was H.G.Wells. It was about Julie
Christie , blow SF. - But it doesn't seem like 10 years between them in
my memory, which consistently reveals itself as lacking in all but the
most basic furniture. I may be the number one memory waste disposal unit
of the 20th C. I really cannot remember Suez - I mean reading about it,
hearing about it, radio, tv, nothing. I seem to remember going on the
Aldermaston March, though, possibly because there were girls.
That whisky hasn't arrived yet.
