In 1966 I had an operation for a dislocated hip (technical term - slipped epiphysis), was in hospital for a month and crutches afterwards for 3 months. Whilst in hospital my Mum visited and handed me a copy of the Beatles 'Revolver' album, which I obviously couldn't play in hospital but it was good to look at the cover. And smell it.
I also remember making an Airfix kit of The Munsters' car and a tiled ashtray whilst in Hospital.
In that year, England won the world cup which is probably the last time any of us in our lifetime will remember that happening.
At the time, the significance of that event passed me over, I was actually quite unaware of it apart from newspaper headlines.
I still have the same interest which equates to roughly zero.
So will many St Georges flags still be flying from cars tomorrow? Or by January 1st even?
