The world was so different then. Sometime during the 60's a friend & I went out of town ( slightly) to see the final show of the La de da's before they went to try their luck in Oz.
It was a good show but we came out to find we'd missed the last bus back to town so we were standing at the bus stop debating what to do when a car with a couple of blokes stopped & asked if we were OK & needed a lift. We didn't really know them except by sight but knew they'd been at the show, & often turned up at the same place we went to - plus they had long hair, & back then, anyone with long hair was your friend, you could trust them.
And so we decided to chance it & they gave us both a lift back to town without any problems. Just a few years later & we couldn't have risked it, things changed so much & so quickly.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
