Aah Filton Block and FY in the mid 80s!

The 2 Alisons staking out the Sally Inn every 6(?) weeks looking for fresh meat (and getting it, to the tune of 30% of Filton's occupants it was estimated through a straw poll at the time -not guilty!).

Donny lasses who could tell your progress through 6 FTS by your watch.

DRI student nurses with the simplex code to the gate behind the Mess meant every night was potluck in the bar with many a week night an unexpected result!

Free entry to 7th Heaven on presentation of your 1250,straight to the front of the queue ahead of the ex-miners (and this a mere year after the end of the Miners' Strike- what were we thinking?!)

Quiz night in the Stirrup outside Rossington pit gates (closed) and winning easily, barely getting out with our lives - Thank you C*l P**t!

Camelots and Bacchus' Wine Bar - the epitome of Doncaster sophistication.

Beat the proverbial out of Holyhead, Haverforwest and Barnstaple - apart maybe from the Thatch at Croyde Bay and the surf chicks? Discuss....apart from the obvious civvy job opportunities.
