The books, films and toys around back then quite often had war themes, but in a world where we were going to the Moon, it seemed very distant. I have lived in my current house for over twenty years, and that seems like nothing.

I grew up in those times too and I thought WW2 was something quite tangible, mainly because of The documentary World At War that I watched on a Sunday. It seemed to be conveying to me the major moment that still had importance to all of us and was almost journalistic. There was also something called 'All Our Yesterdays' which chronicled our past with archival footage.

I have embraced technology but I fully understands the 'Negatives' some of which are appalling. I recall those days when abroad I could not get access to the latest scores and results on a Saturday and visited an 'English Bar'in the hope that they might have this information.No Sky TV etc etc in those days with up-to-date scores ! Furthermore one could purchase the English papers but they were the ones from the previous day !

The war was certainly a lot more tangible in the 60s when there were still bombsites around and parents and teachers had lived through it and so many older people had fought in it. There also seemed to be films on television pretty much every week. Strange to think the World Cup final was only 21 years after the war - 2003 doesn't seem that long ago.

When you are eight, 1945 might just as well have been 1845. My grandfather fought in the war, but he never spoke about it really. The Germans were always the enemy if we played war games with friends, but the sixties and seventies were a world away from the forties and early fifties. Britain was reborn in many respects. We had Vietnam going on, but I was largely oblivious to that in sunny Croydon.

'The Troubles' in Ulster are over (25 years) almost as long as they lasted (30 years). Anybody, under the age of 30, will only know about them in History class or from hearsay. Chronologies, times & dates can mess with your head. Roger Moore was actually older than Sean Connery. Steptoe & Son were only 13 years apart in age. Dustin Hoffman was seduced by an Older lady in 'The Graduate', Mrs Robinson......she was actually only 6 years his senior. The first Gulf War was a deliberate clear-out of all the old surplus WWII ordinance & weaponry. many modern Motorways (or other fast roads) are sitting on top of Roman Roads.

If you're 10 years younger than someone when you're 20, you're only 66.6% of their age....but when they're 60 you'll be 50, or 83.3% of their age. Basically you're catching up! Don't want to worry you, mind....
