Like most of us, I cannot look back upon my childhood or adolescence and say that I did many things or held many views of which I am now proud. After all, surely most of us, looking down the inverted telescope of the years, can hardly even recognise our younger selves as in any way integrated into our present existences. But I can say with unmitigated satisfaction that, even as a girl of no more than ten, I wasn't impressed by Walt Whitman, I couldn't sit through _The Sound of Music_, and I didn't like ABBA.
All three of those things still hold. As the young people say, Solid! Er, at least I think that's what they say.
