There were
six of us, just father was working. I can remember things. Poor? - definitely!
Money was the thing.
I can't really
remember any affection in the family - I'd get persecuted for anything
at all that went wrong. It was ever so crooked and warped, I suppose
- a really nasty childhood.
There were
a few characters in the family who were spoilt. They were loved, I suppose,
but I just stood around watching it all happen. When I was about six
or seven, I was the one who was doing crime, going out and stealing
and giving my parents money.
It's called
"creeping" because you have to creep out into the back room
of the shop, where the cloakroom is and where there might be a little
safe or cash tins. Then you take whatever you can and leave while the
older people are taking up the shop assistant's time.
It was exciting
at such a young age.
