Always stopped off at Sandbach on the way home from the Cassie Club.

Guess what as soon as went back onto the M6 south we got pulled over by the Cheshire Police.

Strip searched & had the seats of the car taken apart every week.

On the plus side we all eventually got invited to their annual Christmas Party :-))

Keep the Faith & Keep On Keeping On.

We used to avoid stopping at Keele , Sandbach or Knutsford to avoid the DS . We'd pull off at Cannock for a pint & a swallow & then junction 19 to neck the rest ...........Happy days hypo.gif

Sanbach,Keele all the service stations were regular stop and search areas but the most fun to be had was always HIlton Park rolleyes.gif lots of stories but no time,maybe this thread shold join with the gear/scene thread?

Steve

Worst service station award?...Michaelwood(until Yate started) shithole!!

Yeah it was a shithole Steve, but it had a brilliant pinball. Remember playing with Mark, Bob and Roch 'til about 5 one morning on the way to Yate.biggrin.gif

After the wheel shut and just before the Torch nighters kicked in---During that 'black hole' lol we used to go to Keele and drop us gear, take a Discotron and play sounds all night--cos it was the only place open all night.

Sounds sad--but we weren't the only 'lost souls' doing the same thingbiggrin.gif

Trick was to avoid the service station staff from calling 'plod'

......a lot more easy going staff at Knutsfordrolleyes.gif

...dont think Sandbach services wasn't built in them daysohmy.gifg.gif

post-5897-12745970026481_thumb.jpgThat sounds familiar,

Me, Phil Shelton, Dave Shaw, the Twins and Micky Taylor, were given a tour of Congleton police station one Sat night.

It just got silly in the end did Clifton Hall on the Fri. and it took me and Phil nearly 2 hours to produce a piss sample, the others and the coppers were not amused, we just stood there laughing for ages, eventually got to Wigan about 3am.

Dont know who it was but a young lady took mine and Phils tools off us just before we got pulled luckily we were seperate to the others so had time to get rid of the parephenalia, as they say.

Only Dave and Mick, who were caught with stuff ended up charged, that time.

It never quite had the same appeal after that, still to this day tend to use Knutsford instead.
