Chelle-82 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Berlins. I was 15 at the time. It felt great!! Me too what a dive though!! ---------- Post added 02-02-2016 at 12:37 ---------- For me it would have been the Lord Nelson in Dinnington, probably at about 15. Looks like it's gone now, replaced by flats sometime around 2008. http://www.worksopguardian.co.uk/news/local/dinnington-eyesore-to-be-replaced-by-flats-1-597600 They also had a stripper in once, when I was about 16, cost 50p to get in. To get into what?!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillsbro Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Your 18th birthday? Yes. ... Are you sure you didn't drink in a pub before you were 18, Hillsbro? Be honest! Well, I might have had the occasional "swift half" in a pub before I was 18 but only when my older brother Roy had got it from the bar. But here’s a true story from 1967. One summer evening I walked from Dykes Hall Road on to the Mason’s Arms on Langsett Road, carrying a quart bottle to be filled with two pints of bitter (remember the old days! ) The arrangement was that my dad would then pick me up on his motorbike and we'd come home. As I came out of the pub and crossed the road, two policemen were walking towards me across the grass where the old houses had been demolished. The conversation went like this:. PC Plod: "What have you got in that bottle?" Me: ... . "Beer" PC Plod: "How old are you?" Me: ... . "Nineteen" PC Plod: "What’s your date of birth"? Me: ... . "6th of April 1948". And after a bit more dialogue "My dad will be here soon".. At that point, along came dad, right on cue. He immediately sized up the situation.. PC Plod: "Is this your son?" Dad: . ..."Yes" PC Plod: "What’s his date of birth?" Dad: (with his usual air of smug satisfaction): "6th of April 1948".. PC Plod and his pal turned on their heels and left, perhaps thinking "You can't win 'em all". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillsbro Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Perhaps you were a little too near Hammerton Road ?Yes, that could well be. The two PCs certainly headed off in that direction (maybe to drown their sorrows with a mug of tea). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazjea Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Age 16 along with 3 mates all about the same age. In the Blue Boar on West Bar. There was a Trad Jazz Band on.It was like another world to us. Looking back it was a dump, but we were not put off by that, and returned quite often when the band was on. Biggest problem was deciding who looked the oldest, with the best chance to go to the bar and get served Edited February 2, 2016 by bazjea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
