<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I have been interested in anything with wheels on since birth according to my parents, and it is rumoured that I was born to the sound of a Bulleid pacific passing the bottom of the garden. I received my first trainset, a Triang clockwork, for my fifth birthday in May 1963 and have never looked back since.

From the above I deduced that you were born in '58, one thing lead to another and next thing you know the following is going round my head.............
BRUCE DICKINSON
Born In 58
(B. Dickinson/ J. Gers)
Born in a mining town in '58.
When black and white TV was up to date.
And men where still around.
Who fought for freedom. Stood their ground and died.
That I could be alive and see the damage,
that we've managed since.
In this septed isle. Is nothing sacred.
Just a one square mile.
CHORUS:
Justice and Liberty. You can buy what you don't get free.
In a world of steel and glass. We bury our past.
On and On. We slept till dawn. When we awoke, we hardly spoke.
My grandfather taught me how to fight.
Old fashioned stuff like wrong and right.
But all around I see his morals buried in a mess
Of money troubles, Born in a mining town in '58.
When black and white TV was up to date.
And men where still around.
Who fought for freedom, stood their ground and died.
REPEAT CHORUS
On and On. We slept till dawn.
When we awoke, it was, all the same.
From Bruce Dickinsons Tattooed Milionaire album.
