CND London - Mid 1980s
I was working at Selfridges (saturday job) and during my lunch break popped out to find a CND demo stopping the traffic in Oxford Street. Figuring I had time to help out for a bit I lay in front of a big red bus with the protesters. When the police dragged us away I naievely supposed that by promising to go back to work (I had my uniform on so it was obvious I wasn't lying) they would let me off on my way... But no.

So I missed the afternoon at work without reason, lost the job and began a decent into fecklessness that continues to this day.

Still, we did manage to get President Regan to take his nukes home and the world became a beautiful, peaceful, nuclear-free paradise didn't it!

...Ah right.
