To be honest, I was quite happy with my high score... 😏😄

Oh boy... saw the first half - projector problem IIRC - of the early 70s film when the local Crusaders showed it one evening in our primary school hall. Watch the second half - and hear side 2 of Breakfast In America - and I will probably leap into another body and have to sort something else out.
