Where were you when Kennedy died

I haven't been personally chosen by Iain Dale but I thought that I would play the game that is running around the blogosphere as to where you were on five momentous occasions in history.

Princess Diana’s death, 31 August 1997

I had been out,cannot remember where but came in and switched the telly onto Sky News seeing the initial reports that she had been in an accident.I stayed up and watched the story develop as it became clear that this was serious.Finally with tiredness getting the better of me,i retired to bed with the Radio on and I remember waking to the first announcement,I think it was on Radio 5 that she had died.

Margaret Thatcher’s resignation, 22 November 1991

At work.I had an office at the top of the building which was an old house.One of my colleagues ran around all the offices shouting into each person that Mrs Thatcher had resigned.

Attack on the twin towers, Tuesday 11 September 2001

Again at work.This time in a large open plan office,it was a computer company whose name will not be mentioned.Someone from the next office had been watching the coverage of the first plane and said there had been an accident at the WTC.I tried to access the internet but by this time it had slowed to a trickle and it was impossible to load.Then the news of the second plane and I rushed to watch the coverage now aware that this was a terrorist attack.What I remember most was how dis interested the other people in my office were.One actually said that I have got more important things to do than watch this.It turned out that he was doing his monthly reconciliation of a balance sheet account which took him most of every month to do.I think that was the start of my disillusionment with the world of finance.

England’s World Cup Semi Final v Germany, 4 July 1990

I watched this at my parents house.Can't remember why I was there but I do remember being phoned up during the penalty shoot by someone with no interest in football who was trying to organise the cricket team for the weekend.And when Gazza missed that chance in extra time the cat fell off the chair

President Kennedy’s Assassination, 22 November 1963

I still had one month to go before I came into the world.
