The pub of which you speak was the "Portobella" run, at one time, by Anita and Alf. I wonder if we were ever there at the same time. I recall the "Crick" being taken over by the constabulary, but I'd be surprised if some of them remember being there. At least one could be certain of being let off for being "close" to the limit by saying that you'd been in the "Crick" giving a statement

Thats the one !! We used to go there almost every weekend in 1985.... we used to do a crawl from there to the Cricketers and that other pub near Paycocks house of which the name also escapes me ! .... Just a bunch of young hippies drinking beer and smoking weed... never had any trouble at all... its over 20 years since we moved out but can remember having a lot of parties in big farmhouses ... who knows maybe you were there !!

You may have been at the "Port" around the time Sue was there. The pub near Paycockes is the "Fleece" which I was living very close to at one time. I guess you're talking about the 1990s. Coggeshall was really happening during the 1970s. Some of the parties then were PHEW!!!! WOW!!!

The Fleece, thats it... I caught the end of the 1970's  there as we had just left school....I had better stop writing too much but there was fun to be had in that sleepy old town its true !!

Morning april  for all you know yourself and boheme may have shared a joint

Susan, the only one I ever smoked was in 1991 and I'm still waiting for the effects!!! I think I may have my own built in "high" and I suspect I could probably get drunk on water................but I prefer the flavour of wine

[susan]

Hi april  I know what you mean about built in "high" I have it too and can be so happy in my own little world.  Some guys rolled me a joint and I think they were taking the mick as it had no effect at all I think it was just a roll up with a few flakes of black twist in it.  I was waiting for the earth to move but it did not happen   Still waiting

How strange...me too, never was much of a fan of the herb but my friends were, seemed like everyone was around then.. much prefered a glass of wine.... then ended up selling it for a company in London... by chance one of my accounts was a little restaurant called school dinners... their famous knee trembler was in fact jelly and ice cream spoon fed by one of the waitresses sitting on one's knee.. now you know my interest in this particular case !!

Hi boheme  you sould like you did not need any weed you were quite naughty without it.  I was the same I was a wild child in my younger days would like to be an older wild child but don't get chance anymore

Boheme, PLEASE tell us, did anyone, in your opinion, associated with this case, like having their botty smacked and their nappy changed by nanny? Yes or No, will, I think, be sufficient

  What happy times. I know let's have a belated Wake for Taff Jones.
  I suggest the gloomy pub up Stonebridge Street, The Chapel, betwixt the Clocktower and Mark Marchant's clockshop. Such an enterprising and hilarious entrepreneur, what was he on?

  That's the venue sorted then. Shall we have it on the feast of St Sulpice, just after Crimbo( are you with us Andrea?)
  We will be recognised by Plod, by wearing buttonholes of Scarlet Pimp's. If MAT'S  in  doorway, step carefully over.
  And one more thing, Susan - Dress to be optional.

Honestly no idea ! Did they do that ? I was 22 at the time and rather wet behind the ears... All I remember is a few young girls dressed in school uniforms with fishnet stockings.... however they were very friendly and treated me ok, we only supplied a couple of wines on their list, I never went there in the evening, only lunchtime...and of course as a supplier not as a punter !
