Fannish 50 (47) - Friends - Give Me A Year

[smallhobbit]

As part of my final Fannish 50 batch celebrating Friends, I thought it would be interesting to share a bit about myself.  But I decided not to do the usual 'ask me anything' sort of question.  Instead, give me a year and I will try to tell you something about it that is relevant to me.  If it's a year I've actually lived through then it will hopefully be more personal (assuming I can remember!) and if not I'll see if I can find a connection of some kind, although the further back into history you go, the more general the answer may become.

I've no idea how this will work, or whether it will work at all, but I can but try!

In 1983 we had moved out of London and were living in Newbury. We had just bought our first house, a mid-terrace three-bedroomed house. One evening we were entertained to see two local policeman trying to catch a cow which had escaped from a nearby field and wandered down a narrow pathway. It took them some time to persuade the cow to turn round as it was narrower than a cow's length.

Oh hee, that sounds like a great memory. And a memorable day at work for the coppers :D

Ha ha - that must have been rather hilarious to witness.
