If you were one of those late night revellers, Neil would like to hear from you - neil@acmretro.com

I have plenty of Aquarius photo's from the 1970's.  They may make interesting viewing!  >;

Oh gosh gerty I wonder if we were in there at the same time back then.

Apart from weekends, we would go sometimes in the week with friends ( Thursday nights ) as my hubby got complimentary tickets.

Feel sick just thinking about it as we used to roll home about 3am and I used to roll back out of bed at 5am to start work for 6am.
Always felt drunk when I got up but never did when I went to bed :))

OOOOO and everytime I bent down at work my head used to spin  :))

Ha ha , seems like it then Pam.  All that you said applied to me too.  We often got in on comp tickets as a friend of ours was bar staff.  I need to hunt down those pics so we can have a giggle!  :))

Apart from Jingles and Adam & Eve I didn't drink in town a lot.

Crowd that I hung round with weren't particularly concerned about drink drive laws (even one who was a police cadet). We used to frequent Woodside, Highfield, Olde House, Peacock (Barlow) mainly or  go down Brampton (mainly Terminus & Star).

As a student working tax free in the summer I could get 5 pints for my hourly wage, can't even match that now!

We only ever went into the Adam and Eve once, it was so busy it took ages to get to the bar. Hubbies hair was wet through he was so hot so we drank our drinks straight back and left
Gerty looking forward to your photos when you have time to post them :)

given the rise of digital cameras and Facebook etc theres goig to be no point in 30-40 years time writing this kind of book, the evidence/nostalgia is going to be preserved for all to laugh at.

Between 1972, when it opened, and 1975 we were regulars at the Aquarius.  I look forwards to seeing your photos, Gerty :) x
