Ah yes! The Moorgate tube disaster, Britain's worst ever road accident, lots of IRA activity and the first of Peter Sutcliffe's murders. All against a backdrop of an economy approaching bankruptcy and in a fug of cigarette smoke and lead petrol fumes. Good times!

I had that one - it was both terrifying and fascinating. I don't think it was the cause of my life-long fear of water!

I know that feeling well. I sometimes have to remind myself that if it was anyone but me I would be telling them "You've got to eat". And I always feel better when I have done.
