When I was born

  1. Harold MacMillan was almost done as PM of England and JFK had just celebrated 100 days as President of the US.
  2. Brian Poole and the Tremeloes were no.1 with Do You Love Me?
  3. Sandy Koufax was MVP for the Dodgers leading them to a Series whitewash over the Yankees.
  4. Everton were were football League Champions.
  5. Jim Clarke dominated F1 and came second in the Indy 500 to Parnelli Clarke.
  6. The Beatles were enjoying a 30 week spell at the top of the album charts.
  7. Dr Who and the Daleks hadn’t been broadcast.
  8. A loaf cost 5 pence or 22 cents and a car cost £2500.
  9. The ring pull had just been invented.
  10. Our toilet was downstairs next to the coal cupboard, no-one on our street owned a car and only a few had phones. All windows were single pains of glass and would ice up inside in mid winter.
Times have changed eh?
