Gin
I was 16 but looked older. Bought a bottle of gin and sat in my room listening to my Bronski Beat album (record!), mostly to Smalltown Boy. Got totally pis*** and cried. Went downstairs and told my mum I was gay.
Chips
Age 14. Parents had no money. Holiday in Lowestoft and was last night of the week. We all walked about 8 miles and my dad said we could have a small portion of chips. I can still taste the grease on my lips.
Chocolate
Age 6, Christmas. Sitting on the worktop in the kitchen almost wetting myself with excitement as was my turn to get the chocolate from the advent calendar. As I had 2 sisters we had to take turns hence I got a chocolate every 3 days.”
