What was Chislehurst like?
It was just a typical suburban town. There were lower class and upper class areas and we lived somewhere in between. Who’s we? There was mum and dad, until he died, and I’ve got another brother and sister and two cats called Cookie and Crystal. Were your brother and sister involved in any sort of youth movements, gangs or such like? My sister was a beatnik. My brother just had greased back hair and wore t-shirts and jeans. He didn’t have a motorbike or anything though. What about your school life? I hated school. I used to skive off all the time, because nobody was home by day and it was easy just to stay in and watch telly. Sometimes a couple of us would go to the local park. We seemed to get flashed at a lot. The funniest incident was when this bloke rode up to us on a pushbike, opened his coat and he had his wanger resting on the crossbar. He had a beard and wore glasses, the police used to call him Rolf Harris. Did you have any inclination while you were (supposed to be) at school
