visit to the M/Cr Uni film club (schoolboys from my school could get
membership). Then a daring visit to the local Uni pub.
I asked her what she wanted to drink (struggling with a whole world of
alcoholic drinks I didn't understand). She said "Cherry B" so I asked
for one of those at the bar.
The bar man yelled down a hatch in the floor.
"Oy Fred! While you're down there get another crate of leg-openers."
