I was a skinhead at around fifteen, Levis, Ben Shermans, sheepskin coat, cropped hair with feathered sides - although I never had Doc Martins but all the lads we hung around with did and a Crombi.

to start with i was a flower child, i went along with brothers who liked bands like Pink Floyd, and then i became a mod, all mohair suits, ben sherman shirts, cropped hair, dancing along to the latest reggae, ska, soul tune. then it got to the middle stage where i was heavily into soul, dance venues, night clubs anywhere they played the music i adored. wild child yes i guess so, i went right off the rails for a time, but once work became more serious then it rather curtailed my activities. Fun whilst it lasted.
I am, and always have been a rocker - hard rock, heavy rock, prog rock. However, i suppose my 'wild child' tendencies were curtailed by joining the army at 16 and a half years old. I was never a 'model soldier' though - still a tad too wild for their archaic rules and regulations, and i was often fined for my antics.
I do sometimes wonder just what might have been had i not enlisted, as 2 of the 3 guys in my band of close-knit friends (pre-army) succumbed to the lure of heroin and are no longer with us. The other is now a drug-addled zombie. I like to think i would have had more sense than go down that rocky road.
