Our golden Labrador is much the same!..but she is also self-cleaning which is an advantage

Continuing the "Record Store" nostalgia......seems like pictures of OZ records at the bottom of Westgate Road in Newcastle are a rare thing, but I did find a pic of their "bags".
It was on this site here, alright those interested in OZ records in Newcastle are going to be thin on the ground but this site is one of those where you can select your own county/town and wallow in nostalgia for the range of independants and other stores where you would have bought some of your significant records.
I walked out of OZ Records with "In The Land of Grey and Pink" by Caravan..............still got it....still one of my all time favourites!
So here's the link, enjoy a browse and hope it inspires a few memories

; so rolling back to the comments on the APT... read a piece about a year ago by a journalist about the inaugural run (full of journalists). It set off late at night and he said he had no idea that there was such a long straight stretch of track in the UK! Daylight dawned and all was revealed, the tilting system being excellent, but causing visual disturbance/balance problems. This made most of those aboard sick so they rubbished the ride in their columns. The chap writing the article disagreed saying that their opinions couldn't have had anything to do with the prodigious amounts of alcohol consumed the night before, could it?
