In my schooldays we had Tuesday & Thursday afternoons off, with Saturday morning skool. Myself and a few other reprobates would visit Cider Annies’s shop, part of an old worsted mill in semi open country at Pudsey (Leeds) . She sold us cigs in singles, and alcohol. We were 13/14, in school uniform, never bothered her. They were very happy days I recall...I don’t remember ever getting blind drunk on 2 bottles of beer otherwise I’d never have gotten home, 20 miles on 2 buses.
