@50YearsAgoLive Thank you for your posts. I have enjoyed teaching myself how to read by learning about history. Unfortunately I soon have to report to Siberian prison where I will be serving 20 years hard labor, but I hope to catch up with "Adolf Hitler" and "Three Mile Island" when I get back
@50YearsAgoLive No problem. You do great work and I enjoy reading the history across your accounts.

25 March 1974: a personal @50YearsAgoLive . The day our chemistry teacher saved my life! He used to write our homework on the blackboard and we had to copy it out. This day he wrote loads of it, so much so that I missed my bus - the one that crashed into a truck at my stop...

@50YearsAgoLive Ronnie Biggs escaped from Wandsworth jail after 15 months of a 30 year sentence. Now that Detective Chief Superintendent Jack Slipper ("Slipper of the Yard") has tracked him down thanks to a tipoff from the Daily Express, it's all down to the extradition arrangements with Brazil.
