I first went to Dirty Dick’s as a teenager and I remember it well from that first visit, and subsequent ones too, but nothing beats the impression when you enter the door on that first occasion, I had never seen anything like it before!! I think I drank rum and orange then!!

It reminded me of Wandsworth where I once lived. Young’s do an ale called Dirty Dick’s and I can well recall the hoppy smell from the, now sadly defunct, Young’s Ram Brewery wafting around Wandsworth.

I ordered a pint of Dirty Dick’s in Dirty Dick’s and made a silent toast to the days when I lived on Wandsworth Common.

Such perfection of scan and rhyme make me drunk with happy.

at the Central Foundation Girls School.
How did we do it? I don’t know. We took our school ties off
and berets and simply went in and sat down. It was
on the corner of the road leading to the school.
We even ‘chatted people up’ I definitely didn’t
drink, and nobody ever commented on our school
uniforms. I left the school when I was 16 for college.
We probably went there in the early 60s when we were
14 and upwards. If the rest of our gang read this – you’ll
remember too.
