By heck yow were only a little tacker back then and whippets were free wi petrol..
My first trip at 18 was in 1969 on a training course at the company training college (prior to a Canadian contract) at Brixham on a Saturday early evening we caught it across to Torquay for a night clubbing and we were all pissed as farts when we set out, a good time was had by all and I can't remember the taxi home but the landlady wasn't too happy that morning when I rolled in about six in the morning, happy days..
