Footnotes

I bought a copy of the Alan Aldridge Beatles jigsaw with my pocket money when I was about ten. I eventually lost it, but bought a replacement from an antique shop near Bond Street station about 25 years ago. I remember making the jigsaw when I was a boy, but didn't actually empty the box until Covid happened five years ago. It took me three days to complete it, on and off (it had all the pieces), reminding me how much enjoyment it had given me when I was young (the most difficult bits were the edges, which all looked like jungle). I enjoyed it so much that I promptly sent off for some other Beatles jigsaws, including the Abbey Road one. But they weren't as much fun, or as iconic as this one. The wig I bought about 30 years ago, from a specialist shop in West London. Cost me a small fortune.
