Video transcript

I was always mischievous, I used to get into a lot of trouble. We used to enjoy going down into the woods and walking through to the estate. There was a lot of bracken and that around and of a lot acorns, oak trees and hazel trees, hazelnut and we used to watch them dance around the maypole. One year, one time I can remember, when we were coming back from there, my best mate run into the bushes and the next thing I knew is there was wasps right in front of us and the ones that were with us all ran away and I was trying to knock them off him. They never touched me, they all went for Billy and he was in agony, agony and when we got back home to his house, he got covered in Dolly Blue, what they call a Dolly Blue, that was for starching the clothes and that and they had to put it all over his back where they stung and that. But mischief, I was always got called mischief me. I was always into trouble, I was always getting wrong. It was always the same though. I'd love to go back down and have a walk around and see what was going on. That's one thing I'd like to do.
