Yep. I was travelling round India (pre-internet) and had to phone home to find out during a blackout in Agra.

We just about held on, thanks to a man of the match display from, Jones the gloves.

1971: strange hour for an attack!

Bomb explodes in Post Office tower
A bomb has exploded in the Post Office tower causing extensive damage but no injuries.
The blast occurred at 0430GMT on the 33rd floor of the tower and shortly after police received a call from a man claiming that the “Kilburn Battalion” of the IRA was behind the attack.

1974:

Led Zeppelin held the UK launch for their new record label Swan Song at Chislehurst Caves, Kent, England on Halloween night. Drinks were served by nuns in suspenders, a naked woman lay in a coffin covered in jelly and naked male wrestlers cavorted in recesses of the caves. Label mates Bad Company, The Pretty Things and Maggie Bell also attended. The launch also tied in with the releases of The Pretty Things new album Silk Torpedo. The label was named after an unreleased Zeppelin instrumental track.

I bet the Halloween and fireworks in Carlisle tonight have nothing as exciting
 Nuns in suspenders, what sort of nunnery is that!

Nightclub inferno ‘wipes out generation’

A fire department spokesman said the partly-wooden building “went up like a box of matches” and the victims perished within 10 minutes.

1959:

Britain’s first long-distance motorway opened on this day in 1959 after the first section of the M1 was built.

The initial 72 miles of the triple carriageway between Watford and Rugby - or junctions 5 to18 – was seen as a revolutionary development in British transport.

The high-speed highway cut journey times between the two by almost an hour as well as alleviating congestion on trunk roads and streets in towns.

A British PathĂ© newsreel commemorating its opening to traffic, which – to the astonishment of viewers today – consisted of just a few cars.

It also showed the “ultra-modern” signposting, which had been redesigned to use easier-to-read lower-case lettering instead of traditional block capitals used until then.

Since the Derby game Saints had scored in 31 successive games, home and away in the league, cup and playoffs.
