A severe cold spell formed in early December 1981 and lasted until mid-late January 1982. I vaguely remember the snow being deeper than my wellies! Sorry dmg, but the coldest winter in recent memory in the UK was in 1962/63. I remember it well and it lasted from December 1962 until March 1963. I remember it freezing every day for six weeks, even downto -20 and it was possible to skate on our local lake in Liverpool, which I did with my friends after work. I know, I'm showing my age! Unless incorrect information:"The CET Central England Station recorded a daily mean temperature of 0.3 °C (32.5 °F)[3] and a daily minimum temperature of −2.7 °C (27.1 °F),[4] for December, and is the coldest December recorded in the 20th Century."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981–82_United_Kingdom_cold_waveI certainly remember 1962/3 being very bad, but just checked:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_1962%E2%80%9363_in_the_United_KingdomI remember people talk about 1947 being one of the worst, but that was in the North of England, Scotland and N Ireland. I do vaguely remember it, but I was very young! I don't believe it! If, in 1981/2 the snow was deeper than 5 year old dmg's wellies, then I consider it bad!

I totally agree with you. But I also think that he's got sick of poor interview partners, too.
Quote from: JF on February 25, 2020, 09:51:30 AMI always thought that Mark began to wear the headband in spring 83but I discovered yesterday in a FB group, pictures from western springs 15th april 81, and he has it. so it seems he tried it in april 81, he didn't wear it in europe spring 81, neither in autumn-winter 82 (pics from wembley arena december 82 in the Oldfield book), and then he wore it again in spring 83, and kept it also, it is strange that there is no bootleg circulating from australian tour in 81 https://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/western-springs-stadium-15-april-1981-news-photo/819511580?fbclid=IwAR3UjFviycq1sl4xmW_CaKiAaMn1KKMyZIPG8bMBbYju98dqW4Tql_diYH8https://www.gettyimages.fr/detail/photo-d%27actualit%C3%A9/western-springs-stadium-15-april-1981-photo-dactualit%C3%A9/819498364?fbclid=IwAR05JCvmzA_gxNggXQJt_W3oVSVeYYE6akHgJ2RvigZlZsH7s43DjIIjwJEThis information is wrong, in reality these photos are on 26.03.1983-Western Springs Auckland New Zealand, unfortunately the gettyimages site is not accurate on the dates, I have come across a lot of wrong information regarding the location and dates of photos on that site. It happens that Dire Straits played on 15.04.1981- Western Springs Auckland New Zealand, but the photos in question were in the same place, on the Love Over Gold tour, which was the moment when Mark started wearing the headband, how is it known .Therefore, these photos are surely on 26.03.1983-Western Springs Auckland New Zealand!
