Evening All I don't want to make a big issue out of this because I already made reference to it in a previous post; but. I am surprised at the very few references to the fact that one of the biggest drivers of the all niter scene back in the day was amphetamine, and almost everyone I knew used it. Most just recreationally, and limited to the attendance at all niters and all dayers, but for some it became more of a habit, and with it the consequences of a more regular desire and or need. I get the impression that a significant number of people, for many reasons, and which are non of my business, have very selective memories, and prefer to totally overlook the important role that drugs had in driving the scene when we were younger/youngsters. It is an inescapable fact that without amphetamine the all niter/all dayer scene would have been totally different - unrecognisable from what it actually was. The issue cannot be white washed from the history of the northern soul scene, and it's importance cannot be overstated. I'm sure not everyone will be comfortable with my post, and of course as I have eluded to, there were exceptions to the rule and not everyone used. But, the vast majority did. Evening all. Peter

Hi Chris I hope you're ok. I've been binge watching Walter's The Day on 4. I'm enjoying it, it's a Belgian thriller. https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-day Peter

Yep, a real hot bed of soul music was/is Nottingham. The Boat Club, at the side of the Trent, and next to the Forest ground is still going great guns. Sells out. I hope you're well Roburt. Peter

Just saw this................... https://www.nottinghampost.com/whats-on/music-nightlife/gallery/new-northern-soul-motown-bar-9904873 Mm. Peter

You will go to the gym Benji!

Strange there wasn't a Clash! I'll get me coat. Peter

Thanks mate, yes I've watched both of those. Peter

Well said Graham. I hope all is well Sir. Peter

Hi Chris See below, plus I'll also have a think about other stuff I've seen. I hope all is well mate. Peter

The French series is far better. I do like French tv/movies - there's just something different about it. And that isn't a queue for a smart arse to say it's the language. I'm currently watching one of "Walters" programmes on catch up 4 - The Sleepers, a Dutch thriller. Not as good as some of his others but worth a watch. I also binge watched On Call streaming on Prime. Very good with a 7.6 IMDB rating - very good too. On Call (TV Series 2025– ) - IMDb Peter

I don't collect anymore but have bought plenty of records from Johnny over the years. I have never had a bad experience with him and he's always been a gentleman. Peter

I was just interested to know how many you were waiting for and your level of frustration given some of the things you've said. Anyway, no big deal. Happy New Year. Peter

Perhaps, un-theoretically, you have a better understanding of Johnny's business than the rest of us, and therefore your acid comments are a little more appropriate. But, in the alternative, I think that probably isn't true and that you are in fact being a little mean and over the top with your comments. Incidentally just how many records have you ordered? Peter

I agree. I think that anyone who ordered items and didn't expect some sort of delay given the enormity of the sale has been a little short-sighted; or in the alternative they don't know Johnny and his enormous set up. Be patient, kind and trusting. Peter

I'm quite certain that he's already caved in! Happy New Year Steve. Peter
