Worked at the intercon from late 1970 till 72 when I met the wife, always went down into the moonraker for an hour to chill out before having the pleasure of meeting those charming and friendly people that frequented the place

I remember going into the gents in The Woolpack one night and there was a set of false teeth in the urinal. I went again half an hour later and they'd gone.

I remember puking one straight back up in the doorway of Peter Jones just across the road - it was a proper funny colour.
Never made it if we attempted the Westgate run but if Talbot or Griffin was the first we always got there. Good times

The thing with doc was you could have 3 or 4 and feel fine then walk outside into the fresh air and it was like someone took the bones out of your legs!
