16 Things That Were Once Legal.

Renamed in memory of John Hawksworth, a stalwart member who passed this day 2nd August 2020. RIP Mr Monkeybutt.

Sadly we must add the name of Kevin Minton, Aka Mr Ripper who passed 30/6/22. Kev was also Mr politically incorrect but a nicer lad you could never meet.

Going for a pint during your lunch break was a regular occurrence at one time, when I worked at Heerema/THC on a Sunday lunchtime there was an exodus of workers headed to The Small Crafts or some other watering hole nearby. I could never see the pleasure, half hour break, clock in clock out, maybe get 20 minutes max in the pub ?

You’ve produced a cigarette advert for TV and also been a dog roaming the street? You’ve lived a long and varied life.
