Mexico 1970
Sunday 2nd November 2008 5:39 pm
There were rumours,
of decimalisation.
A new decade in modernism,
at Manor House Junior school.
It was the summer of 1970.
Of Esso World Cup coins.
Fools gold for heroes.
My Dad didn’t own a car.
My best friends name was Zolly.
He had a brand new colour TV.
A yelping dog called Bugsy.
A Jewish bosomed mum.
And
eat a pickled herring.
She wore the world in beauty.
Just like Pele's final pass.

Oh heck,
you got my mind buzzing now. I remember decimalization. My mum made me go shopping everywhere with her 'cos she found it difficult to work out the rate.
Which is pretty much like i am now when using the euro's.
