Okay, okay. I remember the Berlin Wall coming down; my brother was actually there when it did come down, and he brought me back a piece which has since vanished, which is awful. I fear one of my parents threw it out; I didn't quite understand the whole significance of it then, but it was from my big brother, so I wouldn't have got rid of it myself.
