	Like Jean and Elizabeth I too, shall not be listening. About 7 years ago we took g.dau to the Blitz Experience in Imperial War Museum. Too realistic - OH never heard a blitz he was born in country but I hit panic mode when the siren went and wardens shouted and then the planes getting closer and THEN the seats rose with the bomb blast! I was nearly out of the shelter door.

	My word Chris-I suppose that was a form of "flashback" like the soldiers experience, often after years have gone by
