The first actually dateable memory I have is of being in the cartoon/newsreel cinema in Piccadilly Circus (later the porn cinema from American Werewolf) and seeing a Movietone news featuring the death of Donald Campbell in Bluebird on Coniston.

I remember being on holiday in Spain when I was about three. I used to enjoy running along a small pier, and then peeing off it, into the sea. I also had a big chunk of a tree which had snapped off, which I dragged around everywhere for the whole holiday. According to my parents, the other holidaymakers loved me, especially the Germans who would always talk admirably about my white-blond hair. Thank fuck they weren't Austrian.
