Afraid not, but this was the nineties. I went to the Co-op. There was a check out girl I fancied in there.

No, but he's been Wivenhoe.
You do realise they are called check out girls because they work on the tills, chip? It's not an open invitation.

She had a lovely slutty quality. And a really sexy way of holding eye contact when she handled my crinkle cut oven chips. Ah, happy days!

Quote: chipolata @ January 19 2010, 1:30 PM GMTI went to the University of Essex and Colchester is very nice. I prefer Wivenhoe, though. That's where I lived.
I went to the University of Essex. I lived Brightlingsea, St.Osyth and Rayleigh Tower Flat 11.
Colchester, in the evening, was full of aggressive, student-unfriendly squaddies.

Yes, it is. 
What did you study there? I did government.
Economics.
In fairness to Colchester, I should point out that my experiences were a long,long time ago - when long-haired students in greatcoats were a provocation to soldiers.
Also, these courses look excellent.
