Sex in the foam: fact and fiction

When a couple had sex in a pile of foam at the 1969 IOW festival, the papers all gleefully reported it, with the usual hypocritical condemnations. The event is woven into the narrative of 69ers, with the hapless central character, Scott, finding his ankle used for purchase by the happy couple, to his considerable discomfort.

Here’s me reading part of the scene at the June event in Isle of Wight Waterstones.
