interesting view
Still punk in the late seventies and early eighties, closely followed by the goth era and then the grungy feral fashion linked to the green movement in Australia in the eighties and nineties helped to break down a few barriers about accepting people who were different to you. Perhaps it was different in the UK but I see a greater tolerance here to other cultures, sub cultures and fashions here now.

hello tony, congrats on your one month anniversary you've set yourself a bit of a task there mate. We had to content ourselves with slurping the dregs from Watney's party fours, but it was the start of a long and successful drinking career that's still going strong. I've got strong links with Salford from family to The Lowry Theatre, keep up the blog it's captivating.
Cheers
Neil F.

Ah yes
I remember that day well. That was my first taste of beer, from a barrel set up in the street. I didn't like it, but a kid a year younger than me did cos he ended up rat-arsed. And weren't those cheap mass-produced Union Jacks ugly? I kind of feel a bit nostalgic all the same. I don't remember much fuss for the 50th anniversary - that must have been 2002. Could it be that the punk generation saw off the whole idea of deference to momarchy? Now they're just media figures, often ridiculed. Thinking back, though, how many of your classmates were punks. In my case, only one or two.
