The Bradford City stadium fire on May 11th 1985
was truly horrific. Two and a half weeks later 39 people were killed at the
Heysel Stadium in Brussels and 4 years later 96 at Hillsborough. All three
tragedies can be watched on YouTube although why anyone would want to is beyond
me. Reading about it is painful enough.
The Popplewell Inquiry that followed the Bradford fire led
to the introduction of new legislation, which improved safety at many of the
UK's football grounds.

portrait painting. That aside I think Alf Avison is being treated a bit
harshly. Surely the first requirement of a budding novelist is a vivid

What would Mrs Waterbury think of how her little daughter Phyllis had grown up? Not to mention Chrissy who would certainly have been shocked at her ex-flatmate Jo’s attire. Sally Thomsett a few years on from 'The Railway Children' and 'Man About the House'.

They swear and get annoyed when they cock something up and Princesses even
carry their own children. So they aren’t lizards after all.

Presumably these look-a-like Princess Diana dolls are based
on how she looked as a baby, although you can’t tell from this photo. I wonder
if Lenci of Turin produced Camilla Parker Bowles dolls when the time came. I
hope not.
