I was born in 1991, the same day Bart Simpson made it to number one in the pop charts. If you really want a window into that pre-Thatcher world then look towards Brazil, not the country but the film.

This morning I arrived back to London after a month away. I had been traveling for 48 hours straight. I was a little tired to say the least.
