I was invited to the Maytree in 1976 by a bloke called Paul who was working with me, painting council houses in Littlehampton. It was his local. His mates were characters to say the least. Paul was a firm friend that summer, loyal and true, but he did shoot someone with an air rifle on the grass in front of The Knoll one time. If you're on NSC, Paul, I hope you had a good life
WRT the OP's question, there are probably 20 plus NSC posters who I've known 20+ years, purely through following the Albion (and the old Mailing List), maybe 20 more I 'knew' but don't know I knew, and a handful of others I went to school with (or near, including one poster I first knew as a near neighbour on Foredown Drive, Portslade, I guess.....getting on for 60 years ago - evening Andy )
