Some 40 odd years ago when I first got into it I would never have imagined that in 2015 both myself and the scene would still be around and for that I am eternally grateful , I would have thought that as we all matured and possibly got more sophisticated the scene would have evolved it,s dissapointing that it has,nt . Dont get me wrong still love going out when I can and usually have a good night but the poor costume re-enactment crowd and the media intrusions and You tube vids all lead to a feeling that the whole thing is being compromised to such an extent that it can only lead to its eventual demise .
