[Drinking] Where did you go for an Underage Drink ?

[R. Slicker]

Back in the day when it was a 45 minute bus ride, then train from Worthing to get to the Goldstone.

The Witch in Lindfield. This was 1997 and Gerry Ryan was running it.

Around the time we used to go there for lunch. ALmost took a screw driver with me once I was so jealous of the Bukta shirt on the wall!

Green Jacket and Swiss Cottage for me. 3 mates and I got thrown out of the Green Jacket once for being too rowdy and singing Beatles songs! We were about 17 at the time.

I remember the Swiss Cottage had a Space Invaders game machine or the other game where the space ship split up into sticks when hit. Can't remember the name of that game.

As a 13 year old, you could get served in the 'other' pavilion at Hove dogs. What is now and has been for some years, Legal & General & Lloyds Banking Group Offices.

Seeing as you’re saying ’what is now and has been for some years’ I’ve slightly edited your post for you[emoji6]

It was a great collection of shirts he had framed around the pub.

There was a pub in Glynde I'm pretty sure half my year group from school got in one night, **** knows how! Most my mates are from Lewes so when the sitting in a park days were over, the snowdrop used to serve us

The Trevor Arms?

Yes, super pub. I played cricket out that way and would frequent. I have a picture of myself holding a pint in the garden aged 17.

Barry and Teresa would serve alcohol to a toddler if they had the right money. I can’t even remember the first time I bought alcohol in Bartree but it was certainly before I ever shaved.

First pub pint was aged about 15 in the Marlipins in Shoreham in about 1980. Many years later the barman admitted that both he and the local law knew that about 5 of us were all under age, but to quote him “you were all good customers and never caused any trouble, so the police just let it go”

Potters Arms in Burgess Hill, aged 17, pints of Worthington E, 27p a pint, apologised if you went up to the bar with a fiver (if you were lucky enough to have one!)

The Manor House, Eastcote and The Swan, Ruislip (@AmexRuislip will know these 2). I can still recall a wild west style fight in the latter one merry Christmas Eve. Bar stools and glasses flying across the room. It's now a Cafe Rouge.
