Feeling My Age

“Well in those days the internet was in black and white. It was only on for three hours a day. We used to get dressed up in our Sunday best to log on to it. We’d log on to LetsBuyIt.com and order a gas mask and a pound of tripe. Then when we’d finished with the computer we’d switch it off and we’d all stand up and sing the National Anthem.” How about the entertainment, how did you amuse yourselves? “Oh we used to gather round the piano and sing Peter André songs. While we were singing, we’d be showing off our pecs - my dad had a lovely six pack. Cheeseburgers were a penny then.”  Hugh Cecil on the Armando Ianucci TV Show
