I was sixteen when I first discovered alcohol. Having to avoid Church and Dale Street Club where my dad used to hang out, I travelled a bit! The Bridge was one, especially on Friday night, Rising Bridge was another and then when I turned seventeen it was time for the Mecca. In fact, my mate and I landed barmaid jobs at Burnley Mecca which was loads of fun. I was underage but lied! I remember getting well piddled at Bullough's Club one night and my Nana put me to bed with a bucket and saved me from a hiding.

I met my future husband that year and we used to go to Jean Daniel's pub off Plantation Street. Memories!
