HAVING FUN!
One of the things in the Occupation was entertainment, there was none! We didn鈥檛 have a radio, the Germans had taken our wirelesses, as they were then known, so there wasn鈥檛 much we could do apart from sport. But we used to go to the cinema.
I used to go to the Gaumont in St Julians Avenue sometimes, where there were still some films in the island that had been left here. I must have seen all of these films 5 or 6 times during the Occupation. There were also German films of course. I went in one of these German films but I couldn鈥檛 understand a word they were saying. The thing was that you were segregated, the civilians had to sit, I believe it was on the right hand side and the Germans sat on the left hand side, and of course no civilians could go in the Circle, that was reserved for Germans as well. So from that point of view we were segregated.
