Where did you buy your first pint?

[The Merry Stripes]

The Sandpiper Cleveleys. I was 14. First Nightclub was Oasis (I think it was called) in town. I was 16.

The Oasis was a strip club, all credit to you, 16 and your first thought was naked women

I thought that. Top floor on Albert Rd. Seedy doesn't even begin to describe it so I believe.

The vaults in the original Fairhaven , quality Boddingtons . Would have been around 1968 I reckon .

Obviously a late comer….I was at Liverpool University from October 68….and was drinking in the University bars and nearby pubs then and still under ageI wasn’t 18 until February 69.
Mind you I was in one of the County ,the Fairhaven Vaults or the Majestic most weekends as my Dad insisted I was in digs in Liverpool which were Monday to Friday as he thought I was too young to be there full time in my first year.At least it meant I got home for home games and Sunday League Football.He worked in Liverpool so he would run me home and back each Friday for the weekend or I would catch the coach via Preston if necessary.Was a shame in some ways as it meant I missed out on the full university life in my first year.

By the way I am sure I should know you as we lived in St.Annes from 63 onwards.Were you also a regular at the Blue Fountain…played football for them and the County..

The Broadway in Fleetwood. Was 15 I think. Me and 2 other mates, one of whom was Pool 'legend' Kev Barnes...

The No 3 or Yates, would have been 14, and it was half a pint

Would be a pint for the girls this day and age …a recent report says there are more girls under age drinking than boys

 

[Hertsseasider]

The Stag, Enfield, Middlesex circa 1973.

We used to go there after youth club in the church next door.

 

[PoolRule4EVA]

The Lifeboat pub on Foxhall Road near Central Pier. I worked as a keyman in an Arcade nearby.
In those days, if memory serves me correctly, pubs closed at 10.30pm most nights and 10pm on a Sunday!

 

[SpionKop]

The Golden Bollock (Ball) in Pilling 1981/2 and clearly remember it was a pint of mild

That same recent report said Britain was the worst country in Europe for underage drinking. That's bollocks. We're brilliant at it.
