I didn't realise there were so many old people on here !

Swansea CIO in Jan 96 for me, next day I took the train to London where I met Hammer and Stilson on the Wendover train, If I recall correctly he was wearing something wacky like a Bermuda shirt !

Swansea CIO for me too, in Oct 92, when Castle Gardens really were gardens and not that concrete monstrosity they built there since. Travelled up on the train with a guy who was going to be a steward. There are fewer than 20 of my intake still in the mob today.
