It was a big night for me last night. I got to revisit 1979.

I had a ticket for the Manchester Apollo to see The Specials, Madness and The Selecter on the Two-Tone Tour. I'd just turned 17.

Wearing a three button blue two tone suit and red two tone tie (both from charity shop - these were the days before 'vintage' and pre-loved'), white shirt and socks and black Doc Martens winkle pickers.

It was a furious night. As usual, hundreds more 'scammed in' than had tickets, the place was a furnace before The Selecter came on. The dancing was frantic, but good natured. That only raised the temperatures higher. I was sweating. A lot.

I undid the top button, but the tie stayed on. Had to.

Madness outdid The Selecter, then The Specials came on and the place went nuclear. The band leapt about the stage and climbed the huge speakers, the crowd climbed the speakers.

There was the expected stage invasion at the end. I made it on, when I climbed off, I collapsed.

Shirt, suit and tie were drenched in sweat. I was hauled outside by complete strangers. There were no buses for me, so my dad came to pick me up. I found his car, eventually. He wasn't pleased. He was definitely unhappy at my steaming, soaked suit slumped on his fabric seats.

Last night I was at The Sands in Carlisle, wearing a suit, no tie. Doc Martens loafers. White socks.

I knew the words to most of the songs. I even danced a bit. I had fun. Most importantly, I made sure I wasn't carried out...

n It won't shock many readers, but people around the worked are becoming more angry, stressed and worried.

The annual Gallup Global Emotions Report asked people about their positive and negative experiences and of the 150,000 people interviewed in over 140 countries, a third said they suffered stress, while at least one in five experienced sadness or anger.

The top two places in the world where people are most positive are Paraguay and Panama - neither nation is known for being particularly positive.

Perhaps it has something to do with the letter P?

How do the people of Penrith feel?

What about Parton, Patterdale and Pooley Bridge, or Plumpton and Pelutho? Are they all feeling pleased with themselves?

Perhaps this should be used as a marketing tool to appeal to people to come to Cumbria.

Welcome to Cumbria – come and enjoy a P.
