On Tuesdays in summer term of '71, Nick Hill would smuggle a transistor radio into room D3 at Cannock Grammar School. He would plug the single ivory-coloured ear-piece into its socket, and an avid group of lunchtime Pop Pickers would listen to his real-time recital of the Radio One charts.
Rose-tinted ear-pieces notwithstanding, we members of class 4E were not impressed with the Number One's on offer, in between T Rex's "Hot Love" and "Get it On" during May and June of that year.
Forty years on, we pause for thought for our classmate Nick, who left us too early.
And just to show that it's never too late to do your French homework, click on Dawn.
(No lads, Dawn is not the one in the crochet hot pants. But if you clicked on that one first, you probably need to have a lie down before you do your French).
Finally, a belated thank-you our good friends at MFP photography studio. [So that's what Music For pleasure was supposed to be. I clicked on the hot pants anyway. Phew. Ed]
