Maybe it depends on how political your parents were. I didn't start getting really interested in politics and news till I was 11 or so - which was 1991 - and I don't think many kids under that age actively seek out political news, particularly international news/foreign policy. But, if your parents are interested in that kind of thing, they will talk about it and you will ask questions. Had my father not talked to me about the Cold War, I think I would have even fewer memories of it than I do already.

*nods* Yes, I think you're right.

My parents are very political, and my brother and sister and I were brought up such. It did often feel like we were the only anti-war, left-wing family in the whole of Hitchin! (Although of course we weren't.)

I think there's a song here that's asking to be written.. !

You're from Hitchin too and you share a ton of friends with me? why haven't we ever run into one another somewhere?

Eeee! I don't know. :-)

Which school did you go to? I went to Priory, from '89 to '96.

Also intrigued that you went to the University of Hertfordshire, especially in that particular department. I don't suppose you ever met Mr A.J. Compton while there did you...?

Might have to friend you, if that's okay.

Oh, and I used to live just down the road from the Angel's Reply (in Lancaster Avenue). Never went there though, at least as far as I remember.
