It’s back in 1965-66-67, and I was a teenager living in the Belfast suburbs (By the way, ‘Life on Mars’ is on Netflix now and earlier today I was listening to an audio book, called ‘Small Pleasures’ on BBC Sounds when I heard “Sister Maria Goretti” mentioned in the book – another Proustion moment).
