Many many flags were hurt that day.
Now you've reminded me where I was, my cousin was a jockey at the time and won a race at that meeting.In being day Desert Orchid won the King George VI that year so I'll have won cash
If you were interested in the epoch-changing events in Eastern Europe that autumn then it isn't strange. The Romanian revolution along with the opening of the Berlin Wall were simply the most dramatic events in a whole series of dramatic changes - and as I said, if you were interested in that part of Europe it was gripping.Do you seriously remember what you were doing that day, like many people with the Kennedy assassination or when the World Trade Centre fell?
Isn't that a bit strange?

As it was raining non of us wanted to walk five minutes from the pub to the bookies to back him at 25/1. _
Not really,but if it hadn't been for the buying the bottle of wine under the counter style,the event might have faded from my mind? I went in the same shop the other day. I asked if the bloke who served me that day was still around. They told me that he went back to India about 10 years ago.Do you seriously remember what you were doing that day, like many people with the Kennedy assassination or when the World Trade Centre fell?

That sounds like a pub I used to work in when I was at college, Saturday afternoon was one of my favourite shifts.The bookies was next to the pub, so we used to take turns to nip next door - Boxing Day usually resulted in us having a betting pot and some decent wins shared around the table.

9/11 on late shift at work, glued to the radio & getting texts from people telling me what was happening on TV coverage.
