13 years ago (blimey) I retrained as an acupuncturist – and car pooled
with a couple of people for the four years of the course. One of them
was a plumber, John, 13 years my senior.

His interest was piqued by our clubbing escapades, and a year after we
graduated, we invited him to Sankey's with all that entailed.
