Bullfights!
Bull vs Matador.
Matador Gary (2 Guildford Rd) flicks his cape (a towel).
The bull (me) charges.
Amusement, diversion. Not under Mum’s feet.
Great!
Until the blind bull doesn’t see the cape conceals clothes-hoist winder-casing.
Clothes hoist
Metals encased winder - solid.
Bull charges, head hits. Blood everywhere.
No cracks in the skull. (The Fates again?)

Overnight spike in population of dopes, daredevils, dummies, and sadists.
Letterboxes detonated, animals blasted, kids injured.
Common dare: holding an exploding twopenny bunger.
An explosive destroyer of letterboxes – with a young hand wrapped around the blast!!!
Bonfire nights – BANNED! No wonder.
My protective friends, The Fates, kept my hands intact.
