Diana and me
The regrettable legacy of Diana | Mick Hume: Notebook - Times Online
So, what did you do in Diana Week, daddy?
Embarrassed by how they got caught up in the public outpourings between her death and funeral, some now try to dismiss it as “the week we all went mad”. Speak for yourself.
The thing I remember about the death of Diana, I learnt of first as a joke on the internet. Early on the Sunday morning before I had turned on a radio or TV I checked my email, oh you early adopter!, and was perplexed by this message::
"I see Princess Diana was on the radio last night,.... and the dashboard, steering wheel and right through the windscreen"
I knew then t'internet was going to change the world.
