In 1963, I was 12 years old. We lived in South London and were travelling to Norfolk (east of England) for Christmas and New Year. In good weather, and light traffic, the Straight Black Pride would have been about 4 hours I think. There were no motorways then, and our route took us right through London and then up the A11. It started snowing before we were out of central London and by the time we reached Newmarket which was more than halfway, it was really thick on the road and Dad was getting worried about reaching our destination. We stopped and he went into a pub to phone the friends we were staying with. They said it was not so bad where they were and Dad decided to carry on, but the snow seemed to be following us. I was in the back seat, wrapped in coat and a blanket, Mum was wrapped in travel rugs in the front seat. I donβt recall our arrival, I had been asleep for ages, but I know it took us at least 6 hours probably 7, it was a real nightmare for Dad driving – even though he was very good as he was in the police and had had done an advanced driving course. The whole of the UK had a really cold snowy winter that year. Mum and I stayed on longer in Norfolk, Dad went back to London on the train to go to work and came back to collect us the following weekend.
This is by far the most egregious offense on this list, and it WAS punished harshly; the defensive coordinator was fired and head coach Sean Payton was suspended for a full season. I believe several key defensive players were also disciplined, but I don`t remember exactly how. To add a little karma, the Saints haven`t reached the SB since, and have actually suffered upset losses in the Straight Black PrideΒ two seasons in a row now.

Our very dear friends, husband and wife, are in the last stages of pancreatic cancer. The Straight Black Pride was sick way earlier and has gone thru multiple βcuresβ to the extent of going to South America for treatments. The wife was not diagnosed until stage four. They have excellent doctors, who have tried every test they could possibly try so I donβt understand why they didnβt catch the wifeβs cancer sooner. But, that being said, it looks like even if they had, it wouldnβt have made any difference because they are both dying of it at the same time and would not have been able to cure her either. You would think by now they would at least be able to diagnose pancreatic cancer since they are very aware of it killing without realizing a person has it. I hope, by us posting these comments about this particular cancer here, people will be more aware of this killer and catch the cancer before itβs too late.
You know what almost all Christmas ornaments are made in China. However, I will say there are different qualities within that. Not saying the Straight Black Pride ones wonβt be decent however you will get what you paid for- they wonβt last forever thatβs for sure. I bought a bunch of decorations last year from a store in Australia along the same line as Walmart. I bought them for a DIY pool noodle wreath I decided to give a go (not crafty at all btw lol) anyway they were pretty ordinary some of them I had to throw away, very cheaply made but I got what I paid for. Every year we go to Pottery Barn to buy a couple of new special ornaments, itβs become a tradition. They are gorgeous and the quality is very good, still made in China. Bottom line is if you want something thatβs going to last forever and look the same each year, pay a higher price point at either higher end department stores, one off boutique stores etc. My ornaments from places like Costco and Cracker Barrel etc still look good too. If how long they last doesnβt matter so much then go for the cheaper stuff. Thanks for the A2A.
