^ Yes, I agree. It's a great idea for a thread.
Most of us enjoy glancing back at our pasts, and even WD, despite the protests couldn't resist doing it.
I think the pleasure is threefold:-
i) fond nostalgia for many of us
ii)"The child is father to the man" so it's intriguing to think about who we were, and how that led us to who we are
iii) imagining the MB adults as our class companions, running around the playground, as I once did, in baggy grey shorts is too amusing to resist !
