‘I was on the toilet when I heard John Lennon had been shot.’

It is that time of year when we recall exactly what we were doing when we heard the terrible, epoch ending news that John Lennon had been shot dead in Dakota.
‘I was at home on the toilet when why wife shouted: “Non lemons been hot.” – which I thought was a strange thing to be saying. It was not until later that I realised what she had meant,’ recalled Reginald Wreath in Henley.
‘I was swimming lengths in my local pool when this swimmer in the adjacent lane passed me going in the other direction and out of the blue just said ‘John’. The next time he passed he simply said ‘Len.’ It took another four lengths to tell me the terrible, epoch ending news,’ said Siobhan Grubb of Derry
Henry Huffeffa of Wrexham writes, ‘I remember hearing the news about John Lennon being shot just as I was watching a documentary on TV where people recalled exactly what they had been doing when JFK had been shot.’
