In the late 60s I was working with my Dad on a little Decorating project he was doing for a Woman we knew who lived in a House just across the road from where we lived.As usual and on this particular morning,my Dad opened the front door and shouted "Hello...it's us!"......she was clearly upstairs as a voice replied "Hello...I've made you a cake!"...my Dad replied "Lovely!"...she then said..."are you going to pop up and get it,or do you want me to bring it down?"....before My Dad could respond she went on to say..."How's Nobby? and it was at this point we both realised she was on the 'phone!.....
When I was maybe 9 or 10 years old I was with my friend Brian on our way back from "The Cut", a stream a couple of miles from home,where we'd probably been trying in vain to catch a fish. Nearing Snowball Hill,where we'd walk back down to our village,an Austin 7 car pulled alongside in which there was the driver,his wife I assume and a couple of kids.He wound the window down and said in a broad Welsh accent "Do you know which way we need to go to get to Wales!?....I was completely the wrong person to ask for directions...I STILL get lost even if near home!....as he spoke I noticed some hills on the horizon and said "it's that way" pointing him towards Snowball Hill and we watched as he drove and bounced down this stony,uneven lane mistakenly thing he was on his way home.......
There-was a very pretty girl at School a little tease called Holly she said-to-me one dinner-time "would you like to lick my lolly!?"....... I-thought this was code,of course and couldn't bloody wait "meet behind the bike shed" "and make sure you're not late!"........ I met her there at half past one but felt a total divvy as-I spotted Holly standing there sucking on a Mivvi........
