I had just started work, and thought I was earning a fortune I think it was about £11. To get into the local dance hall was 50p, I remember, and I saw bands such as, the glitter band, mud, cockney reble, there. You wouldn't get that today lol. Young free and happy, now I'm still happy but attached for the last 27 years. But alas not so young and innocent. Joy
