Here's me aged 14 in 1962 in an outfit I made at school in my needle work class. It was a fringed top and pencil skirt made in black glazed cotton with pink and purple shapes. I though I was the cat's whiskers - and thin! Mind you that was a good thing when Twiggy lead the fashion scene, I was ...

As a teenager in the early 60's I was just like all my friends very interested in the latest fashions. Us girls wore several starched petticoats under our skirts so they were really full and frilly when I sat down the skirt would sit on top of my knees. A white v neck jumper and a big belt pulled so ...

Does everyone have an Auntie Doll? Oh, it’s just us then - me and my sister, both named, imaginatively, after our parents. Doll on the other hand was named after a large, henna-dyed scary pit bull which is what she most resembled throughout my formative years. My wife reckoned Doll was the spitting image of the Duchess in Alice in ...
Life on the streets of Saltley was never going to be normal. I realised this early on in life watching mum, face streaked with coal dust like a Brummie Mrs Jolson, marching down our road of terraces towards the bookies.She was after delivering a vital message to dad, who was a trifle mortified at the apparition that appeared at the ...
