I lived in Chester le Street at the time,and anybody who was taken down that Nick

was fair game for a good hiding.I was arrested one Friday night and they said I was

drunk and disorderly,they kicked the shit out of me.Then they stripped me Naked and

Handcuffed me to a Bullring which was concreted into the Floor.I was utterly freezing

and I have never had a longer Night in my life,and that includes Cancer treatment

for my Dying Liver.I left the area two weeks later Northumbria bastards.

i worked in a record shop in the 80's and the local cops used to come in on the scrounge, every time they did i put this on and they never even noticed

I loved this band to death when I was a teen. I even paid a fortune to have a tee shirt imported to New Zealand. The cops there did'nt like my T-shirt when we got pulled over...Great band and horray for You Tube to find old punk stuff.....
