This cache should not put up a fight.
Biography: In 1982 I learned to bicycle, after a few
attempts around the age of five or six. I wanted my independance
and after a shaky start, I got it. Some years later, while on
holiday in North Wales, my dad, brother and I invented mountain
biking while taking a 'shortcut' to avoid a much longer cycle on
the roads near Snowdon.
Wider world: 1982 was the year of Channel 4 joining the
television party, increasing choice by a whole 33%. The Queen was
woken up by a strange man sitting at the end of her bed and Prince
William was born. The Pope (JPII) paid a visit to the UK for the
first time in 450 years (blame Henry the VIIIth) and Sony launched
a pocket TV called the Watchman. You could watch Boys from the
Black Stuff and Knight Rider on it. Disc cameras arrived - and soon
left and BMX bikes were suddenly fashionable. The ZX81 was already
old hat as the Sinclair Spectrum was lauched.The Falklands were
invaded - and liberated - and The Young Ones were changing the
established shape of comedy. Number 1 on my birthday: I Don't Wanna
Dance by Eddie Grant.
Where next: Carry on to the corner of the field, where
you'll see some strange objects, and turn left up the farm track
towards LB12.
