I remember being brazen enough to mention it to my mother, visiting the bar, having a beer. She was more disappointed than she let on. Yes, how anti-establishment we felt and behaved, while studying for exams. I've read Keith Richards autobiography, and Bruce Springstein's, and others. We weren't even close.
Thanks for commenting. We tend to forget how authoritarian things were in the fifties and sixties. Your parents weren't your friends. Teachers and police were to be feared. You wouldn't complain to your boss about anything. Some would say things are too far the other way now, and perhaps they are. We might have thought we could be like Jagger and Faithful, but that's the myth of celebrity.
I lived at the Green Bottle Pub, when I was 10 in 1966. My parents were the landlord and landlady there Stan and Joan, we left in 1968 and moved in Halifax. They had a pub there for 12 years till they retired.
This was the only time I went there, but I remember it was a great pub, and very busy. All gone now. It was a pity we went at such a sad time. Thank you for commenting.
I welcome comments and hope to respond within a day or two, but my condition is making this increasingly difficult. Some days I might not look here at all. Also please note that comments on posts over 7 days old will not appear until they have been moderated.

I also like to see the perspective of people older and wiser than me. But you don't have to be that clever to know that online betting is a mugs game.
