In a few months time Wembley 2000 will be nearer Wembley 1978 than the current date. |  | | |

I first heard that about 10 years ago or more. I wonder if it is semantics about when there was actually a wall 'built' versus just a boundary in place.
Heard something last week about how there are also currently more people alive than have ever died. |  | | |

Think it was actually sometime in 2018 but, yeah, we’re definitely well passed the claimed date.
Next, we’ll probably here there Tony Hart has died again. |  |

The barrier went up literally overnight on 12th to 13th August 1961, which was what caught people out and divided families. Within days, barbed wire was being reinforced with concrete blocks. |  |

Yeah, if you want to be specific to a date, 12 Aug 61 until 9 Nov 89 is actually 28 years and 89 days.
28 years and 89 days after 9 Nov 89 was 6 Feb 2018 if my maths is right. | |

Before my time, but one of my dad's cousins was a squadron leader in the RAF at the time of the Berlin airlift in 1948. One of his fellow pilots was operating a black market racket with the inward flights.
His payment was a very nice yacht, transported back to England in pieces over the course of several flights. |  |

Didn't know it at the time, but I was in Berlin the day the wall came down.
I was there on business for a couple of days, got my BA flight back at around 6 pm. Got back to my Surrey home as the 10 pm news came on and there it was, the wall is down.
Amazing as nobody in the company I was visiting was aware that it was going to happen.
Don't know if any of you guys visited Berlin prior to the wall coming down. Fantastic place, had a great time. Worst thing was having to fly over East Germany to get to Berlin as commercial planes had to drop to something like 10,000 feet over East German air space. Made it really uncomfortable as turbulence was often pretty bad at that level. |  | | |
