Yes really, in 1981 I was the youngest Hackney Carriage driver in the country.  It was near impossible to get insured as a sub 25 year old.  It took 60 drivers (that was the total number of plates in those days) threatening to change insurance providers to finally get a quote.  I ended up paying nearly £750 a quarter for FC plus public liability insurance.

I guess you wouldn’t get that because your a patronising no mark internet twit.  But hey, let’s not allow the truth to cloud our friendship


No-one is doubting you were a taxi driver....

That’s really good news, thank you.  I’m not disputing that you were in the RAF and have since risen to the dizzy heights of warehouse operative.  Not only must your parents be brimming with pride but no doubt your children are enjoying the trappings of your success.

Apart form all the trouble over the entire weekend, of which i witnessed plenty, i have two very very vague memories. One was of a Leeds fan getting badly hurt outside the Flam, either beat up, run over, or both. One was of someone getting stabbed near the ground and it had something to do with a Post Office, possibly on the corner of Barcroft Street, or near there. Time has a habit of muddling up memories, so they may or may not have happened in connection with that game, or at all.

What i do remember is Meggies was our stomping ground and we weren't going to be run out by some dirty yorkies, so i do remember a few lads from different factions around town joining forces and having a few "scuffles". I'd have just turned 23.

Remember walking down Harrington Street with my brother-in-law past crowds of Neanderthals with tattooed faces. Before kick off we saw them getting a traditional warm welcome in the Ponny, then the girl privates ripped up the seats in the Upper Findus.

Down the front on the Saturday night you had to pass the accent test to get in pubs.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Hi MaccaBilk! I take it you found wifi in Outer Mongolia or whereever it was you decided to retire your character off to when you got bored last time?

I was in the Upper Findus and cannot remember any seats being ripped out or under threat from Leeds fans.

Funny how memory plays tricks on you (or me). I remember seeing them fly through the air. I'm sure it's not just because I read about it afterwards, but people have been found to have false memories of an event they were actually at.

I'm a patronising no mark internet twit! How clever you are for your age to write something like that. I'm all those things because I asked you a 1 word question?!

What I meant was - Do you really have a 'deep dislike for anything Yorkshire'?

Now who's being patronising?
