People are having vinyl parties as well you know.

We used to have shellac parties when we were kids,
and make 78prm records of Joe Loss into flowerpots
by leaving them in the sun (there used to be sun in the
UK then) and shaping them.

The older kids used them for skeet shooting :-(((((

We still have sunshine in the UK, and all the data is
available to show
that the summers weren't long and hot, Christmas wasn't
always white,
and Wagon Wheels weren't any bigger than they are now.

But the sun was hotter. It's a while since I've seen melted
tarmac running in the gutters.
