NOSTALGIA doesn't only come in black and white. Here are Scotland's political leaders in 1996 showing why football was never going to be their career of choice. For no discernible reason, the leaders of the four main parties travelled around the country to tell young folk not to take illegal drugs. They even ended up in a disco, dad-dancing to rave music. to show they got down with the kids. They even posed with baseball caps on back-to-front, which obviously impressed young people. Not.

They should have checked if the civil servant who suggested such car-crash photo opportunities was himself a partaker of illegal substances when he came up with the ideas.

So we have Labour's George Robertson, then Scots Secretary Michael Forsyth of the Tories, businessman Tom Farmer, Alex Salmond of the SNP and Jim Wallace of the Lib Dems. Relax Jim, that ball's not going to bite you.

Political anoraks will have noted something else about George, Michael and Jim - they are all Lords now. Not Alex though. The SNP? don't believe in that sort of thing.

The campaign Scotland Against Drugs only lasted 10 years before it was closed down - a rare thing for a Government initiative - and the political parties could relax and go back to arguing with each other again.
