17 July 1978 At 10:00 am, I nervously boarded a train at Newcastle Central Station, heading for Leeds and my induction course on Greek Street. Little did I know that, in a little more than 12 hours later, I would be sharing a double bed with one of my fellow attendees! That was digs in the 70s for ya. As so began a lifetime of memories, characters, friends, stories, events, happiness, sadness. 43 years ago today. Dear me! I'm going for a lie down.
