Yep-I was 11 when they started so saw all the stuff you mention. I had a purple mini and used to get pissed either in the Trotters or the Boars Head. I saw George Best and the great United side of the 60s play and also the good Wanderers side we had then ( Wyn Davies, Freddie Hill, Gordon Taylor, Frannie Lee, Warwick Rimmer, Sid Farrimond and the rest). Had it off for the first time with a girl called Christina and my first joint on the town hall steps. Best years of my life!

Swinging was never me. Bear in mind I get excited by a visit to the Keswick Pencil Museum.

I never had Rammy down as the type to have his wicked way with women in the back of his purple mini.

I always call it Keswick. Because it's in Keswick I suppose. More interesting than it sounds, although I've yet to convince anyone to pay it a visit.Natasha Whittam wrote:boltonbonce wrote:Bear in mind I get excited by a visit to the Keswick Pencil Museum.

I had a totally reprehensible and misspent youth until I discovered Accountancy in my early twenties. And I haven't looked back since.karlypants wrote:I never had Rammy down as the type to have his wicked way with women in the back of his purple mini.
Although I miss that purple mini (and Christina)

I can totally relate to that. Level headedness and sanity are wonderful modes in 2019 world. Peace and quiet is bliss.

No need for abuse. I can see why Christina ditched you.

Yep. went through all that. Its odd how many forgotten things are brought back when the appropriate record is played on Gold London.
I went through listening to all the new groups, songs, and fashions, and then owning a Vespa 125, and then a Lambretta 200 SX, (which would be worth anything from £6k upwards nowadays.
Mini skirts and hot pants were magic, but they were followed by midi skirts, which was very depressing for a young man of the times.

The music was one of the best things about the 60s but I guess everyone thinks the music they listened to as a teenager was the best. For me it was listening to and seeing Hendrix, Cream, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, Doors, Rolling Stones, Byrds, etc.
