Well no,  the 'eighties were ten years long,  that's one every two and a 
half years.

The Pan Am bombing was government sponsored by Libya.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time,  like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
