I remember buying my first car, driving it through Southport with Snap, the power blasting through the stereo (what cost more than the car)

I thought I was the bollocks

I used to love that song, me and my friends used to get on the tables at the pub to dance to that

I hate dance music - at least, anything that passes for dance music past about 1940. Yes, I'm an old grump.
