That's got to be the best start in life I've ever heard of!! Make sure you don't miss one and in a few years you'll have the record!
This will be my 9th year on the trot and Im getting excited with 9 days till we get on the ferry!!

I've been 9 times. I have my wife to thank believe it or not for my first visit. We were on holiday and about 3 hours drive away but I had been speaking to a chap on the ferry about it. I thought the drive was too far and my wife wouldn't want to go but she said "if you want to go then we'll go" Got to Arnage and saw some thing that will stick in my memory for ever - at a roundabout approx 5 AC Cobras flew round followed by a Rolls Royce vertially on 2 wheels!!
Haven't missed one since - stick with it Kid and welcome aboard.

Hi Johnny, My first year was 91 as a teenager. Its all good til you reach the "Beer years"! Then it takes 51 weeks a year to keep the weight off!

Number 15 this year, 14 consecutive. One huge regret is, I didn't start going earlier

I tend to go about once a week on average (more at this time of year) and certainly a lot more since I've been looking for turkeys, peanut oil, soya milk..

Debs, next time in the supermarket can you have a look for party outfits suitable for inebriated middle-aged/retired chaps to wear at the Saturday evening cocktail party, cheers  |

I guess I'm still the patriarch in this - first went in 1965, and this will be my 27th (or 28th) trip - the old brain cells can't compute so well these days.
But I expect my 'record' will be beaten sometime in the future, and you have a good chance, Johnny, with that start!!

Yep, have to admit Delboy has the edge. This will be my 13th I think. Almost consecutive but missed '98 - the year that Wishy went for the first time and got hooked.

Similar story, although very much a newbie, first time was 2003, and been every year since, all three of them. Unfortunately got hooked on flying and yacht racing, so that's my excuse for not starting sooner.

Del Boy I hate you. You'll tell me next you saw the 917 in 70's too. This is my 26th this year. I've been going for 27 years, But missed the 81 race to fund going to the British GP. (Bad Mistake!!) So this is my 25th in a row. t. |
