November 10, 200717 yr went to the junction on the train from derby with my mates dave and rob gillanders. these two had been on the scene for a few years before me,blue orchid etc.when we got to the junction they would not let dave+rob in unless i vouched for them as being old enough???. me 17 them 19+20. ok i am tall.met a local lass who said walk me home. wait for me at the end of the road she said. i did. the two cops shined torches in my eyes and asked why i was in a chemist doorway with big eyes? cos i`m waiting for that girl who`s just turned around and got into that f`ing taxi. went back into the junction and a short while later we were all chucked out cos someone decided it was`nt a nighter. i remember the dj`s had to climb a ladder into something that looked like one of todays lifts on the outside of buildings. also remember seeing DS from stoke in there and on the station during the two hour wait for the first train home. why did they still have those issue boots on even if they were in plain clothes.does any one remember the one who tried to look a bit hippie by having a goatie beard. what a knobhead. he forgot about the boots. even saw him at hanley top rank with his issue denim shirt on. he left when we kept pointing at him saying he was a dealer.ha ha.
