Befriend him? Was I off my Rocker?

A few months ago, I received a friend request on social media from someone I knew as a teenager.

I gladly accepted his request because we were good friends as youngsters - although we shouldn't really have been friends at all. In fact, we should have been mortal enemies if prevailing opinion had been anything to go by.

Our friendship goes back to the days of Mods and Rockers, the British teenage tribes made famous in the film Quadrophenia.
