No massive fan of Enya but I'll always go into bat for the insanely catchy Anywhere Is. And the way she says the word 'other' always gets me all-a-quiver.

Remember this one more than most. Having seen it once, one glimpse of that red trackie top was enough to send me out of the living room.

Bonus Josie! Do not remember this at all (no reason I should, I was 9) but always good to see early unknown appearances.

Most Deformers are a-ok with all this though. They want hate and division. Human rights help non-white people so they're bad. Protestors are just lefties and should be criminalised. Science is intellectual and complicated and thus should be distrusted. God knows how you get through to that mindset.

I also did a school's fire safety quiz in the late 80s. Was 13/14. Am sure we won our local heat but came a cropper in the borough final. Was the absolute king of knowing about colour coded fire extinguishers.

Racing from Ascot
Trade tests were interrupted on this day for an afternoon of racing, and a start-up was required. The latter part of the start-up, including 30 seconds of the BBC2 clock, is featured in this clip.
