Three minutes before closing on the last day of trading before Christmas 2010, I went into a little second hand shop and picked up a small handfull of records.
When I got home, I put the records up high and dry because I knew a flood was coming, but didn't know it was going to be the biggest flood since 1954.
Although a long way from the river, the second hand shop was submerged in the depths of the dirty flood water and everything in the shop was lost.
I kept remembering the records on the shelf, but it was several months' before I could get to them. I was sick after the floods' because viruses came out of the ground after the floods'.
When I got the records' off the shelf, I carefully cleaned each one, in anticipation not daring to look at the title of the next record until I had cleaned the one before. Although, where I live, I have searched and searched for a Hollies record, I have never found one, but there before me, in its own little EMI bag, was a Parlophone Hollies record - "Too Young to be Married" and "Man Without a Heart".
To me, this record is precious, because I saved it from the depths of the muddy flood waters' and from being lost - forever. |

What a story Nightskye! It was obviously fate that made you save a Hollies record. I hope you are fully recovered now. |

Thank you very much. When I was passing the shop, I just had a feeling that I should go in there. I didn't know why, but I'm ever so glad that I did. I am very well now thank you. |
