Re the Beatles;
Sorry, I was letting my prejudices get the better of me.
I was born and brought up in Liverpool where - in the mid-sixties if you didn't like football or the Beatles, there was sod-all else to do.
I detest(ed) both, so I moved to Manchester where (apart from a far healthier folk-scene and a better class of cinema) the same thing applied (if you substitute Freddie and the Dreamers for the 4 Mops).
