I wonder if any abctales readers are going to this? If so, how about writing it up and posting the story on the site?

Hi Eric, When I was fifteen, living in Edinburgh (my home town), I used to wear a denim jacket. On the back was a massive ban the bomb symbol. My mother said I was stupid. I was, I was a sheep, I followed the crowd. It was 'hip' to do it. Now, years and years later I would gladly come up to Glasgow and wear that denim jacket with pride. Give 'em a good old yell from me. AJ

AJ, up here in Aberdeen I've noticed that the crowds follow sheep. Is it a local custom? I did all my protesting in Liverpool with FOE and Greenpeace 1971 vintage. Then I realised the pubs were open...
