@_IanTaylor @hoxtonwanka @ScarredForLife2 The book ‘From Counterculture to Cyberculture’ by Fred Turner covers your last point perfectly. But you’ve probably read it :)

@whiskeylore @ChrisO_wiki The film was campy and could be fun, but it’s far removed from the south coast of post-war England. It’s a book I read in black and white. The Drax back story was perfect for a thriller of that era.

@whiskeylore @ChrisO_wiki Tightly written and well-paced it’s a great example of Fleming’s style. I would advise prospective readers not to be put off by the preposterous film version.

@FlashForFreedom There is quite a lot of mythology around the 1960s, swinging London was for a charmed circle while the rest of us were quietly getting on with our lives.

@MBartlett1977 @paul_winginit MSP to ORD in a DC10 in 1977 with Northwest Orient. Fizzy drink and a packet of peanuts, seats like sofas.

Thanks for all the kind Rattlesnakes 40th anniversary words. Worth remembering, at this juncture, that I was not alone making the record. I was very lucky to be in such a great band, #Rattlesnakes40th

@MirthMantis @anon_opin Bagged cleaners use consumable bags that maintain efficiency by regularly replacing the part that collects dust/debris. Bagless cleaners lose efficiency over time and require more maintenance to keep filters clean and maintain efficiency. You don't get something for nothing.

@historyinmemes Blue Peter presenters back then were fearless. I remember John Noakes cleaning Nelson’s Column in similar style, lots of old-school rope and not a carabiner in sight.

@RealBobMortimer There's definitely potential for a Channel 5 documentary exploring possible explanations.
