101 moments than you can say I was there for...

101 Uses For is popular and let's hope it stays that way. Our second book is presently called 101 tips for self sufficiency; we will certainly dip into this section for ideas. So post away and let's try and get at least one thread up to 101.

I am just trying to remember where I was just yesterday!

I am sure I have been witness to many things, but I have been wracking my brains to remember just what/when/where etc.

Let me think on this.... :oops:
If in doubt ~ use a hammer!

In the early 1980s we introduced Recycling to Derby!
Calling ourselves RAG (Recycling Action Group) we`d leaflet a big car park (usually Sainsbury`s!) asking people to bring their newspapers and aluminium cans the next Saturday. We turned up with a big skip and spent the day receiving papers and cans - which we sold for the fighting fund. We did this about once a month for a couple of years. It seems strange now to see the car park now equipped with glass, paper, plastic banks etc! :lol:

That rather large gust of wind that Michael Fish was in denial over back in October 1987. Actually, I slept through it as most of the roof of my parents house, and those of our neighbours, detatched itself from the rest of the building.

I was there when the Beatles played in the Adelphi cinema in Ireland in 1963/64.

I was there when we went into the 21st century.

I was there when we changed over to the Euro.

Ditto 21st century.

I was there when thousands of people broke the world record for the largest dance lesson (okay so it's not that big a deal but it's still a world record).
