The first time was during my time beating the recession in the 1990s. There was no <strong>Euro<\/strong>. This super international currency was still to come. A few years earlier I was reading <strong>Physical Sciences<\/strong> and <strong>Computing<\/strong> in London at university. Germany had its <strong>Deutschmark<\/strong>, which still strong against the British pound. The unification of West and East was still relatively recent in memory. I was living abroad learning <strong>C<\/strong> and <strong>UNIX<\/strong> and <strong>Sun Microsystem<\/strong>\u2019s operating systems, pizza box workstations, and graphical user interfaces, and I dreamt of becoming a <strong>C++ guru<\/strong>. Whilst I was fortunate to be working in a joint-venture company in Southern Germany, I thought of all the people in the UK at the time, especially my family. Ever so often, I did journey back to London, I flew on a Lufthansa jet from Frankfurt, to visit my folks, I can distinctly remember walking down <strong>Oxford Street<\/strong> and seeing boarded-up shops not so far from <strong>Selfridges<\/strong>. Times were not so good, in England, but there was still the future to look forward. The club scene, <strong>The Ministry of Sound<\/strong>, in Elephant Castle, was still the best in the world. Brit-Pop was about to explode in the following year, <strong>Oasis<\/strong> were just getting start, and wishing to be living like common people was just a glimmer of lyric in <strong>Jarvis Cocker<\/strong>&#8216;s eyes. We are all damaged by this dire economy. Enough said.
