3rd December. Leisure Pool Soundtrack.

They certainly play all the hits at the Leisure Pool... of the 1980's. When the place opened in about 1986, it was the hits of the 1960's. I distinctly remember weekday pensioners bobbing around to the sound of 'My Generation' which seemed wildly incongruous at the time but not so much now, if we're talkin' 'bout that particular generation. 'Just because we g-get around' must refer to getting around with a zimmer frame or battery powered trike and they'll be little hope of 'dying before I get old', or indeed causing much of a s-s-senation for that g-g-generation, baby.

I'd like to propose another verse:

It's all just a chemical process (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And when I die no one 'll notice (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
