Themes, comments & storylines

“Death of John Lennon. Before I realised it had affected me emotionally, I realised that tears were splooshing on to the iron where I was ironing a skirt to go to work. I realised I couldn't see for tears.” BBC Memory Experience

"I was 3, and I was visiting my primary school for the first time before I joined that September. I was playing near the window and trying to set up an ironing board to play house when the ironing board fell shut, trapping my finger and leaving me howling and highly unhappy." BBC Memory Experience
