In 1994 the Pet Shop Boys were invited to perform 'Go West' at the Brit Awards.
They agreed and brought with them 3 separate choirs of miners. Some of those miners had marched with the gay and lesbian members of LGSM in the 1980s. It is one of the great, near-lost music moments

Alongside "who built Hadrian's wall?", another great example of knowledge falling foul of 'common understanding' is scurvy.

1) Keep the schools open, give all kids safe eclipse glasses
2) Close the schools, make it the parents’ problem
But “decide to keep schools open then change a few days prior”? Not great.
