I left school in 1963 aged 14 and went to work in a coal mine.
(I did underground training then but was not allowed to work underground until I was 15.)
I joined the Army (JTR Rhyl ) aged 15.
I was posted to Liebenau (Germany) aged 17)
I was not even old enough to drink until I had been there 7 months!!
At this age (and in those days) NONE of the 17 year olds in NORMANTON knew:
That RESPECT cannot be demanded: It MUST be earned.
That LOYALTY is EVERYTHING
How to drink strong German beer EVERY DAY.
What a Layby Lill was. (mobile brothel)
That "relationships" with girls was MUCH easier if you spoke their language.
What Ludwigstrasse Strasse (Hannover) is (Red light district)
That German pubs show HARDCORE porn in 8mm on the walls.
That you could drive a truck (Alvis Stalwart) into a river, sail it to the other side and drive out again!! (My first vehicle at Liebenau)
What Amsterdam was famous for.
I had been there twice for long weekends before my 18th Birthday.
That the REPERBAHN also has very cheep clubs and bars.
I knew ALL of this before my 18th Birthday.
It is why I am who I am now at 70 years old
