I was lucky, my best friend's sister was married to Lee Crooks so I got taken with them, but I didn't start going properly until I was 18 and able to pay for myself because my parents simply weren't bothered.'"
I was very lucky that my Grandad took me, but when he lost his vision and couldn't take me I had about 6 years until I could attend on my own with friends at 14ish. Unfortunately for me, this period was from 88-94!!!
