The hardest part is I have to go and collect two of them and dinner I have to sit with her at the table. It's a hard life.

Oh Table now is it? We dream of sitting at a table, the best we can manage is sitting on the floor around an old cable drum, Table? luxury.

Actually I came from the Handsworth Tribe, then Yardley, then Lea Hall, then Yardley.

Handsworth eh, so that's where you learned to drink.

No SB, I was only 4 when we left.
As you well know I didn't "Drink" until I met you and then under your guiding influence I became aquatic and often very "tired", in short, you taught me how to drink.
In fact I am going out tonight, which will make once this year, so far, and I might put my hard earned skills into practice.

What would he learn to drink in Handsworth, they haven't even got fresh water on tap there yet. They still have wells in the garden.

Volty babes when we first met I was behind the bar and you had already started on phase one of your drinking aprentiship, that would be the underage phase. I only helped hone your natural skills by fastracking you through the next nine phases.

If you are just going down to the van go, we often went down to ours when it was pouring down. We would just sit in the van and pop out between showers. Its not like sitting in a hotel or boarding house and don't forget what they say. "A change is as good as a rest".

Green Lane. We lived in the first of three ancient condemmned terraced 'cottages', they were knocked down long ago and a small childrens playgound occipies the space.
I can never quite believe the site was so small. There were three cottages with front gardens and back yards, three toilets at the end of the yard, just past the third cottage, we had a private entry at our end and there was a common entry between the road and the toilets that I remember as being quite wide.
