I live near London now, but was brought up in NE England of Scottish parents
I am 2 weeks short of 59
My parents were from Edinburgh
and i can imagine they were strict with you
They were ma’am yes, and I’m afraid I was quite naughty sometimes and deserved to be punished
in what way naughty
typical boy stufff I suppose … I played with matches in my bedroom and burned a hole in the carpet, I was found in places I was specifically told I was not allowed to play in, I threw a ball at my cousin and broke a window … etc, etc
so just the normal kind of thing
nothing too serious
in-disgrace
I suppose, … though they were very unhappy about the bedroom carpet
well no i do not suppose they were
after all they paid for it
how old were you at the time
and what is your name
in-disgrace
My name is Ian … and I think I was 10 at that time
but you must remember the incident very well Ian
in-disgrace
I do … I think it was possibly me at my naughtiest and sorriest
