» Accidental innuendo
Seven years old,
lunchtime at primary school, sat around the table with five of my classmates. I'd just had a very nice bowl of chocolate sponge pudding and chocolate custard, when I fancied seconds.
"Who's for secs"? I asked. Oh dear.

» That's me on TV!
Fifteen to One
At the tender age of 21, I appeared on the now-extinct Channel 4 quiz show Fifteen to One.
I got to the third round! This was due in part to my encyclopedic knowledge of pointless trivia, and partly because the fourteen other pensioners were too blind and/or deaf to notice me, and never nominated me.
I didn't win though. My knowledge never stretched to knowing what the key component of a gallstone was.
Also, William G Stewart looks very weird close up.

11 miles in three hours
Getting to see my mates in Enfield (north London) to see my other half in Stratford (east London), looks fairly straightforward on a map. 11 miles as the crow flies.
On a Sunday, using the rattling, clapped out, eye-bleedingly nipple-pink cans of piss known as ONE Railway trains, it used to take anywhere between one-and-a-quarter to three hours...with such excuses as signal failure, train failure, overhead cable failure, door failure, driver failure...
Soon after I found I could cadge a lift off my Enfield mate and by car it would take 20 minutes.

My mum's most treasured possession
My mum has been quoted on saying that her most treasured possession is the tea caddy spoon she got as a wedding present in 1966. It was given to my parents by the elderly couple who ran the B&B in Wales they went to for their honeymoon (no flights to Barbados back then).
It's very small, silver, and with a fuckoff big Welsh dragon on the handle.
She's also been quoted as saying it'd be the only thing she'd rescue in a fire.
At least I know they won't be short of a cuppa as all the family photos turn to carbon...!
