I really enjoyed this story. I have many memories of the Torpoint Ferry and many more of The Harbour Lights nightclub. :-) The automats sound quite something - I wish I’d seen one (during the day!) And I love your Hopper drawing. Thanks, as always, for sharing!
I was in uniform with two of my friends when I first danced to Bowie’s China Girl at the Harbour lights. The dance floor had a Billie Jean-style dico floor with flashing lights.
Sorry you had a horrible night! I don't remember China Girl being a usual. They _always_ played Come On Eileen, some Guns 'n Roses, some Rolling Stones, and some other regulars during the night and then Je t'aime as the final song at the end. And I remember the floor!

Je t'aime is a bit sexy! I bet it resulted in lots of couples going home together!
