I had forgotten about Bar Six.

Oooh Bar Six, I used to get one from the train station vending machine, when off on travels. 😎 Caramac was another. 🤤

Cadburys do a Caramilk and it tastes very much like Caramac.

I'd say I was in the best place in the country for nightclubs, Manchester, never went to a rave though.

Me too! I used to live in Manchester at the time and was a teenager when the whole acid house/rave scene was going on, never been to a rave myself either even though to this day I still love the music.

I'm a bit older, I moved to London in '86 in my early 20's. Wasn't really my music/vibe but I did regret not going to the Hacienda. My favourite was Legends on Princess Street. They were mad days and nights !
