Class of '79

This story of how I came to study History at Portsmouth Polytechnic in the 1970s and what life was really like for students back then – the wild parties, the drugs, the sex, the motorcycles, the bands, the girls, the beaches – and the poverty, the cold, the terrible digs, the drug busts, the unhappy neighbours, the hard work, the arrests, the loneliness and the daily fight for the bathroom. The truth is out.
