Them there "Hz" were "c/s" in  my day and age.

Well, they'd just changed, but I'm a bit of a nold timer type...

Anyway, we won WWII, so why should we use these "Hertz" things?

I reckon if they were going to play Global Thermonuclear Warº, I'd rather be
at ground zero, at least it'd be quick.

º spot the reference.  Gid is excluded from this game as he'll get it

	That was what I thought growing up in the 60s and 70s, I considered
it a good thing that I lived in Cambridge and stood a good chance of being
at ground zero or in the middle of several of them. I also didn't seriously
expect to see the 21st century, a not uncommon topic of playground
conversation was "What will you do with your twenty minutes".

> º spot the reference.

	Strange game, the only way to win is not to play. Would you like a
nice game of chess ?
