In this assessment of his pre-war childhood, Peter Robins recreates the colourful menagerie of adults who surrounded him. Episodes range from touching to hilarious.
It was in Portsmouth that I first became aware of venereal disease. I was seven at the time. In a toilet by the South Parade Pier I prepared to obey my father's injunction:
- Never, ever, hang around in a public urinal. Do your business, wash your hands, and leave. A notice on the wall detained me. Should anyone, I read, think he'd been infected with a venereal disease, he should immediately immerse his member in a solution of potassium permanganate. Odd. That was the purple solution with which my grandmother masked her greying hair. The only member of whom I was aware was her acquaintance., the Conserative Member of Parliament for Twickenham. I imagined prim Mr Edward Keeling steeped in purple liquid and beginning to resemble a ripe chestnut. Would he have remebered to remove his horn-rimmed glasses?
