单集文稿 ...

  • Five times 15.

  • Thank you.

  • Yeah, it's lovely to be here.

  • So I'm going to talk a little bit about childhood, because from a very tiny age,

  • my older sister felt that my mother and father were getting things wrong,

  • and she didn't hold back from challenging their parental competence.

  • Her competency she would regard.

  • Sorry.

  • She would regularly point it out to them that they were incompetent.

  • And on one occasion,

  • she noticed that the tax disc had unglued itself from the windscreen of our car.

  • And she became convinced

  • that my mother's failure to display it would lead to our parents imprisonment.

  • And my mother said, you know, don't worry about it.

  • But my sister said, but when they take you away, what will happen to us?

  • And I could tell she properly understood exactly how these things played out.

  • My mother had to pull over and stick the tax disc to the windscreen with the only thing she had to hand,

  • which was Green Shield stamps.

  • And as anyone who grew up in the 70s with no green Shield stamps,

  • reward tokens for shopping were valuable things.
