[pressgang] Nostalgia

[Laura Nunn]

I totally know how you feel. Mine are in an old bag in the garage. Despite the fact that I have (and never watch) the DVDs, plus no longer own a video recorder to play them. It feels too hard to chuck something that was once so precious.

On the plus side, my eldest is about the age I was when PG first screened so it may be time to introduce her…

This seemingly insignificant set of video cassettes has been sucked back in time twenty years to the bedroom of the infant Maya Crabtree.

There were a few weird/funny months (or more) during which, had a fire burst out in our flat, I would have reached out to those cassettes first thing, without hesitating, as my most prised possession (assuing I wasn't thrown back on the floor while trying to fix a spark emitting dangerous looking socket).
