  • Week 180 – Aug 27th – Battersea Part 3

    I’m sure when this was originally built (Battersea Power Station), no one thought years later it would be turned into a shopping, restaurant and cinema complex.

    When walking around the Battersea Power station, I was reading about the planning and one of the ideas was to have a roller coaster ride built around it. People do come up with strange ideas.

    Bohemian Rhapsody was the second single I ever purchased. This was the first song to have a video for it and this changed how records were produced. Some youngster’s will wonder what this item is.
