[Closed] Berlin wall where were you when it was taken down ?

At home watching on TV.
Princess Di? Listening to Bob Harris on the radio.
Moon Landing? On holiday in South Devon, missed seeing it on TV.

Based in Berlin at the time

BUT

On a bloody deployment to Poland on THE night.

Gutted

In the woods in the middle of nowhere skateboarding!

Making love to my mates mrs while he was at work

[i]radrob [/i] it wasnt love you were making it was carnal lust...are you still mates with the said mate !?!

Probably drunk somewhere.

Camping in hungary at the time. As it was one of the few places east Germans coul go before it came down got to see quite some getting really excited.

My parents were in Berlin, my mum has some bits of it.

I left work in Barcelona and saw pictures on a TV in a bar on the way to the metro. I went in and watched for a while.

Sat and watched it all unfold on the box, I was 13 at the time. Not long after we had some East German Students stay with us and they gave us a piece of the wall that they ripped off themselves during the fall.

I was pretty young, remember watching it on tv but not really knowing the importance of it all. I also remember Timmy Mallet offering chunks of wall as prizes on Wackaday!

Still cooking, wasn't born until 91

I was fifteen and living in a well known garrison town, which would have been a target for Soviet ICBMs had the balloon gone up.

All through my childhood myself and my friends grew up with the ever present threat of armageddon hanging over us and the elation I felt watching the people of Berlin tear down the wall was something I'll never forget.

It wasn't until a few years ago that I discovered how close we came to getting nuked several times - google Able Archer 1983 and you'll see what I mean. We escaped by the skin of our teeth.

My enduring memory is of watching timmy mallet hitting the wall with his mallet.

Timmy Mallet turned on the xmas lights in my home town the following year!
