A bunch of us used to go watch Whitley Bay Warriors play ice hockey every other Sunday. Followed by a game of ten pin bowling. On our way to the afternoon game one Sunday in 1982 someone in the car said "the Southern Death Cult are playing the Lyceum in London Tonight". It was one of those spur of the moment things but we stayed on the A1 and drove past the turn off for Whitley Bay and kept going until we reached Golders Green 5 hours later. Parked the car, took the tube to Covent Garden, bought tickets from touts, watched the gig, went back to the car, drove back to Northumberland. We all fell asleep in the car on the way home. Even Mark Heron the driver. He drove straight over a big roundabout on the A1 causing the car to get stuck in flower beds. We pushed it off the roundabout and back onto the A1 and reached home at the crack of dawn on Monday morning. I remember the car was a DAF (these are also DAF, but they're not a car).
