At University in the 60s. This is a group of us at a cottage near Barrow in Furness for a few days. I am on the left in the top picture with the bobble hat.
It was here that I first had the chance to try cannabis but did not do so - I had just started a long, meaningful and deeply satisfying relationship with Newcastle Brown Ale and would not be distracted. To be honest I have never smoked at all and I think this has a lot to do with Junior School where we had a coal fire in the classroom, milk at break was defrosted by the fire and us daring lads would light our milk straws and pretend to smoke - not very enjoyable!
Anyway this is the time trouser where I squandered my chance to be qualified to join Gordon Brown's cabinet.

From the picture Bob you look like early recruits for the KKK! Smoking/inhaling or not, between the group you looked venomous!
Was it really all about cannabis Bob. I don't remember that bit, only the rain, cold and rats (or were they mice?).
I think you are right Mike. I think I was confused by a memory of a witty comment Charlie put in the visitors book. I remember the cold and damp and the battle with thw mice but doubt if that would impress Gordon
