A decade since the Millennium!

A decade since zillions got scared that the Millennium Bug would cause all the computers in all the world would crash. A decade since we spotted the Queen waving at us (and none of the zillions of others) as she was driven round the back of Southwark Cathedral on her way to the Dome. A decade since we stood in the freezing cold with a zillion others on the South Bank straining with our little son to see the fireworks. A decade since we spent much of the night trudging back to Liverpool Street with a zillion others because they closed the Tube, even though they said they wouldn’t. A decade since…

So what’s the start of the twenty-teens got in store for us?
