Playing a game of cricket with Cardew Robinson, wickets were chalked on the wall in the street. I could not get him out and was loosing my rag at this stage, Cardew was taking the piss, saying 鈥測ou can鈥檛 get me out鈥� and laughing his socks off.
(The reason I called him Cardew Robinson was because he had sharp features, wore a very long scarf with black and grey alternating squares and was a dead ringer for the character in The Beano). I had completely lost my temper with him and threw the ball at his head, he ducked and the ball smashed my next door neighbour鈥檚 window. He put his fingers to his lips and said 鈥測ou have done it now haven鈥檛 you鈥� and laughed at my predicament.

The lady from next door came out, she shouted 鈥渨ho鈥檚 going to pay for my window?鈥� Mother tried to get me to apologise, I stupidly said to mother, 鈥渂ut I have done it now, why say sorry鈥� and would not apologise. Cardew was loving this, 鈥渉e鈥檚 done it Mrs Foulds, it could have hit me in the face鈥�.
