Is this what might be described as a unique selling point? It does seem to be as memorable as knowing what you were doing when Elvis died? (I was in a caravan just outside Guildford with four best friends from secondary school!! It was raining.)

I only did it when my 'conduit' helpfully said this doesn't mean you have to walk! Just shows you need to brainstorm a lot of objections in a campaign! Did I walk? Well yes, I actually did, because if I hadn't I would have thought it all a waste of time, as this experience comes on the very first day! I didn't know I would, though, until the very last moment. Last minute decision-making has its advantages! I'm sure there were a lot of things I didn't fully 'experience' that weekend, but (thankfully?) the hot-coals made no lasting impression, other than I can decide to do something and do it (providing I leave it to the last minute and sneak across before my gremlin says it's a stupid thing to do?)
