» Guilty Secrets

30 years of guilt
I have never ever admitted to this before but....when I was about 6 me, my folks and little bruv would visit my Grandma who lived some miles away. She was very frail, had MS lived alone etc etc. Anyway, one day they left me sat in front of the big old B&W telly and I fiddled with the contrast knob until the whole screen went black I then switched it off thought no more about it. Roll forward 1 week to the next visit and Grandma has had a week without the telly and even the repair man couldn't fix it. I twigged right off what had happened (bright guilty kid) and twisted the knob a few turns and said nothing.

Nope, writing this down still doesn't make me feel less guilty....

Bubblys....
During one of those long hot summers of the late seventies my pal and I decided it would be a great idea to see how many of those large round pink chewing gum discs called Bubblys we could get into our mouths and still chew. After raking around in coat pockets and down the back of the setee we came up with enough money (22p) to stage our experiment.

We managed to cram 11 Bubblys each into our chewing gobs before admitting defeat. Our faces ached for hours. Fun days indeed.
