Indeed she hit us so hard (right alongside where you were dutifully strapped into your seat) that she managed to tilt my blue Fiesta onto the two offside wheels, and then loudly shouted at me to move forward to let her out! The first of several people to come forward and remonstrate with her and offer their names as witnesses, was in fact the lady who had known you almost from birth having been out District Nurse. 20 secs. Lego ... Yes, I saw an advert for a 'bag of lego' when I called in for petrol. I paid £4 for it which was almost as much as our weekly food bill at that time! But it was great wasn't it? And we were never stumped to know what to buy you as prezzies after you 'got the bug'.......Until we bought you your Sinclair ZX something or other, that is! Ah... Happy days! I’ve only ever really read all of your description of the fast run around Sketty today…. better late than never?

I grew up on the strets of Killay in the 90s and its great to see 'the old days'. Watching it with a few friends we were saying 'wow' all along the journey. Excellent footage.
