Summary
Peter remembers Mrs. Robertson and her husband as well as the Legge brothers
Transcript
I remember Mrs. Robertson, who lived next door to me, she had three children, Caroline was the same age as me and went to school with me and I remember as a youngster I used to kick the football against the wall, which was actually the wall to their shed I suppose and she used to come out and ask me to stop as her husband was captured by the Japanese in the war and tortured and he was quite an ill man I think. I don’t know how serious it was something as a youngster we never got involved with I guess, you know, that was a grown-up thing. Next door you had Archie Goddard, he worked in the Power Station, you had George Legge, his brother ran the bakery, which was up Redcliffe Bay. He also had a shop in the village, and I remember we used to play table tennis with them, and he used to take part, he was quite good old George Legge was, at table tennis. He had really bad hands because of arthritis, being a baker, you know, 20, 30, 40 years of baking and kneading dough.
