Are we allowed to guess at the location and circumstances of your first pint, Mancie?

I'll go for the Pickwick with big Kenner!

Would Mancie have been old enough then Wyn, I know he's quite a bit younger than me

Having thought about what I posted maybe he thinks he's OLDER than me

The Pickwick was open from 1969, so as Mancie is somewhat younger than both of us, I reckon he'd qualify!
