1976, 16 yrs old working, had to be in for eleven, went to bed sneaked out of the back window,swung along the cast gutter to next doors, down the drain pipe.
Met a gang of car thieves, joined in, got home at 5am, and he was waiting, i had a makeshift ladder which when i flicked away with my feet, didn't look like a ladder, just putting it up to the window and his head popped out,"you little bastard stay there"
He came down picked 2 pans up, i saw him, still dark through the kitchen window, in the nude, i thought this was serious he's gonna pan me to death
Anyway he went upstairs ,filled them full of water then poured them out the window on me,first missed then i dived under the second panful hoping he would be full of joy, and not stove me in
it worked.
16 and working
