From callow youth to coffin dodger the die-hards would make their way to Miranda's afterwards. When one of the former my cousin deviated and took me to the New Twilight. That may just have been at the behest of Pa 'to get the boy started'. Uncle Bruv, a founding pupil, then being an unlikely chaperone, although he did take me to the Admiral Duncan (the family connection I think but who knows).

(There is a plot hatching for another outing amongst the seriously diminished and certainly callow youthless gang as I tripe. A bit late in the year for our communal rheumatism in my opinion).
