A lot has changed in the past 22 years. In 2001, Tony Blair was just beginning his second term as Prime Minister and a kid called Daniel Radcliffe was about to make his movie debut.
Back then, a 16-year-old girl called Nicol Arathoon got a goldfish from her local garden centre. Like many youngsters, she proudly brought it home in a plastic bag.
Today, Nicol is a 38-year-old mum of two - and goldfish Sparky is still very much a part of the family. Despite a recent health scare, ever-gold Sparky, who is the same age as Nicol's son, is still swimming.
