» Shoplifting

A book about buses
As when I was a geeky 11 year old, this was the sort of thing that interested me. I put it under a magazine I'd already bought elsewhere (this was in the days when bookshops sold only books).

So convinced was I that I'd be rumbled and run into police custody that night - I hid in my bedroom under my bed and cowered each time a car came into the avenue. Such was the fear, it was, ooooh, about 2 years before I shoplifted again.
