Move? Me?
Carried the missus over the threshold in October 1978
Bought the adjoining property for £3000 cash in 1980
Got as many local council improvement grants that were available
Knocked the two together in 1982
Whoopee – twice the size house and 3 kids now
Fourth kid
Kids all eventually leave
Mortgage paid off
Retired
Nice large(ish) house in the country
Never had to move
They’ll carry me out in a box
Think about the Stone Tapes we’ll have left

Not a pub
but the bar at Wolves Civic back in the early seventies. I was at a Hawkwind concert and making my way from the bar with a pint in my hand. A HUGE Hells Angel with long mangey beard and full putrifying colours approached me from the opposite direction and stopped in front of me. "Give us a swig" he said reaching for my pint. His negotiating skills were persuasive so I offered him my glass. He took two slobbery swigs and handed it back. "Ta mate" he said and sauntered off. Blimey. That was close - I had what was left of my pint back and got to walk away. Two days later I collapsed at work with meningitis
