Police had lost control of the crowd, only one ambulance could get through onto the pitch. The rest were jammed outside, some with missing drivers and keys etc. Then those paramedics inside put people onto their backs, which would have killed ...

Wow that's really intense. You said something that shocked me, "The final inquiry recorded that 41 of the 96 victims could have been saved, if police and ambulance services had approached this as a disaster, not a mass criminal action." So this ...

LOL I wondered how many references you'd get. :)

I remember reading a book about the Munich Disaster as a child, prompted by a statue local here of a star player killed. It absolutely floored me. My sympathies to your people too.
The key to Hillsborough being cracked was a junior police ...

If you happen to have some spare when you're coming to Cambridge next, do let me know, Frank? It would be a pleasure to have homegrown veggies again, and I'm happy to donate to an agreed charity so someone benefits.

I give some to my wife's parents [mine are both long dead] and to my elderly cousin, who lives locally. I love having surplus to share.

This was a powerful article, Jo. As a Manchester United fan who can remember the Munich disaster, [I was eight at the time] I sympathize with Liverpool and its fans
I must confess that I did not understand the scale of the cover-up by police ...

Yep! And it was neat learning the meaning behind these designs. I knew for a fact there was nothing arbitrary in everything you chose to use (even the place-holder names you put on lists XD).

I hear that one. My husband has not yet mastered the dark art of putting a Steradent and boiling water in my tea mugs when they get dirty. He attempts to scrub them and then wonders why I moan that the tea towels are always dirty. I think George ...

I love washing anything which then turns white. It stems from being at my Nan's, where the white teapot became so drenched in tanin. And each Saturday, I'd enjoy turning it pure white again.
Kept me off the streets anyway.

*grins madly* I don't know when he was last given a good scrub, but I would suggest he MIGHT be verging on the hydrophobic. *shudder*..

Ah! *amends mental image somewhat* It makes it even more amazing that your colleagues managed to break him so much!
You and I are so alike. I'd have to give him a good scrub as well, if he was that filthy.
