Alan Faulkner replied to alex's discussion 'Parkas'"The Parka and scooter mods had all but passed on by the time I was able to afford mod styling, in fact any clothing at all. Around 1968-69, we were into the suped-up anglias, cortinas and imps, therefore did not require Parkas. We were the second…"

- I was a mod back in the 80s. I was a Garngad Mod, and proud to be so. Had a great time both in the Scene Club & the Lindella, whenever I managed to make it up the stairs, sometimes too pissed! Also got lifted at the Gathering of the Clans with Big Chris McRea (R.I.P.) & a whole host of others on that infamous night!
Now I work as a teacher of English as a foreign language, here in the Czech Republic, where a beer costs less than a quid!

alex said… - Hi guys. Sorry I aint been around much - been a bit busy.
yes Bobby, I did indeed go around with Gownie, Chris & Shughie, And we do know each other. No I didn't move to Pollok though I did live with a burd in Pollokshields when I was doing stand up with the Funny Farm. Then I went to Uni & ended up in the Czech Republic via Germany, Austria, Hungary & Lithuania.
I was saying to the guys that you should have a scooter run here - beer costs less than a quid!
