Most Americans above a certain age (around 50 or so) can tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing at that precise moment.

 

For me, college cafeteria eating a cheesburger.

 

It was just then that President Kennedy was shot and killed in Texas.

The Date is right but the time is wrong for this side of the Pond...... I remember it well...

Yup Greg. Probably about 6 hours later in the UK so 18:30 (6:30 PM) would have been about it.

 

Texas is on central standard time and I gave the local time for the shooting.

I was filling up with petrol in a garage at Poll Hill when JFK was shot.

 

How many of you watched the first moon landing?

LOL you bunch of old........anglers

 

I wasn't even a twinkle in me pa's eye then (probably cos he was only a kid)

 

The queen suddenly remembered where she was the day JFK was shot, she was having a chat in a book store in Texas, she even remembers the name of the chap she was talking to, he was called Lee Harvey Oswald

 

As for the moon landing she remembered she was at a TV studio watching them film a science fiction film about landing on the moon, the star of the film was called something Armstrong & his co star was a Mr Aldrin
