canuck_saint Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I used to have a version of my birth certificate that was in German.....even though numbers are the same, I rememeber on various occasions being asked for proof of age when going into Electric Whispers.....I would confidently hand over my birth certificate, and watch the look of confusion cross the face of the doorman before he handed me it back and told me to go in  i used to have a US driving licence which was very handy when you got pulled for speeding in the UK. polis knew theyd never get a conviction and basically waved you off. likewise otherside of the atlantic, flash the british licence and say , yes ill turn up for court in 28 days time.....

ejksjfc Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 The only place I ever drank underage in Perth was the Railway Club on St Leonards Bank and that was the week before my 18th birthday. I was on one of my, then, infrequent visits to Perth to visit my folks and my dad said he would take me for a pint (I think he bribed the barman so that  he would serve me).  All my underage drinking was done in Peebles or the occasional day out in Edinburgh ( doing Rose Street was similar to doing The Perth Mile except a lot less walking)  When I left school in 1976 I went to work at Lochearnhead Hotel and prior to the new licencing laws coming in March? 1977 I was legally allowed to drink in the bar because that was my registered home address as I lived in.

Rottenegg Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I'm a new member to the Forum but have been following it for a fair time - some great threads. Â My first under age drink was in the Railway Buffet at the Station. Being the oldest looking I went to the bar and asked for 3 pints of Beer (what a ------ fill in the blank) When asked what beer, I pointed to a tap and was then served with 3 pints of Guinness - what an introduction to drinking. Â Anyway we got better at it and our main venue was the Vic - in the front room as it had a jukebox! Can't remember the name of the woman behind the bar - we are talking 1966-68 - anyone remember?

HOODLUM65 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 My mother worked at the Vic up until about 1963'ish. Â Pity I never had the chance to meet her,as I went to the Moncrieffe, Tuesdays, Thursdays (after training as the changing rooms were in Sth. William St.) and sometimes on a Saturday if we played on the Sth. Inch. Â It was very difficult at that time to book a pitch, due to the number of Amateur and Juvenile teams in existence.

Rottenegg Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks Sixties Saintee. Â Yes I do remember a a very nice looking barmaid so that could well be Sandra but the one I'm thinking of would have been quite a bit older than Sandra.

Rottenegg Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yes that was her name - I was thinking Mary but yes it was Molly - she was great. I'm sure she suspected we were under age but because we never caused any bother she turned a blind eye.

Carron Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 We did the rounds in Perth. A mate of mine put her foot well and truly in it on her eighteenth birthday. Loudly announcing it was her birthday, in the pub she been drinking in for the past two years. Fair Maid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
