It was indeed

It was a rare thing .... 'back in the day' .... when we used to buy records and the charts meant something.

Quite. I seem to remember rushing home from school that lunchtime for the Top 5 and my brother telling me The Jam were in at number 1. I didn't believe him because I had not experienced such a thing at that point.

Indeed it was. My school was round the corner so I caught it. Missed it when I went to seniors.

The school playing field, jumpers for goalposts, getting the tranny out on Tuesdays for the top ten, simple times!

Stand to be corrected but the offshore pirate radio scene i believe was shot on the old Radio City station from one of those ex-Army forts in the Thames Estuary ?

Was hoping to be back in Worthing in time to watch this but didn’t make it. Hope you enjoyed the film.
