I looked and enjoyed it but soon got bored. I lived it got the scars to prove it and don’t want reminding of the horrors

A lot of us lived through it and got the scars - some are still very raw - but we shouldn’t forget the lessons of history or fail to ensure that future generations don’t go through a similar thing or experience…….surely the rise of fascism in Europe and the growing attempts to develop a home-grown version here, should be a sufficient warning of what happens when we fail.

That gallery has zero resemblance to my formative years in the 1970s and 80s.

Nor mine. Far from it in fact. Not even a photo of a chopper bike!

I do like looking at those type of phots though.
