When you get to our age cider_and_toast all the years meld in to one so trying to remember the year of the start line shunt, for example, gets a bit challenging ;)
 
Yep, one year out on that one. Trying to recognise the March car because in that mess it was the only one that stood out.

Funny enough, the older the question the easier I find it. Now, where's me slippers and Horlix ??
 
LOL sorry. I will make the Mexican one really easy. Q1 spell Mexico without looking at how I have spelt it in the question. :)

AndI disagree FB. As I get older I'm finding it more difficult to remember what happened last year than in 1987. I'm probably starting on the old dimentia.
