The funniest warning I saw was when watching Django Unchained in a cinema in India. During the 'mandingo' scene, in which two slaves brutally fight each other to the death, the legend 'Smoking is injurious to health' was plastered across the bottom of the screen.

Also there was such a high turnover of prime ministers between 2016 and 2024, I think a lot of people got addicted to the drama of it. They want that churn to continue, and find the prospect of a PM seeing out his full five years unthinkable dull.

Last year, we were able to leave comments under the rolling Glasto coverage on the Guardian website. Hundreds did so, and it was a great accompaniment and fun to read.

The influence of the 60s. From then on, everything was before and after, and in the 80s, the before seemed like a different world.
