Reminds me of a story....

When I was very little my parents briefly ran a pub in Peckham. My Dad told me that one night they had a drag queen singing various covers of songs and a bit of comedy. After his/her set, they ask my Mum if he could use the loo. My mum said of course but for his own safety she would rather he used the ladies as some of the blokes who were in that night didn't take kindly to people like him and she didn't want him followed in an beaten up in there. So the drag queen popped into the ladies. Five seconds later he flew out again with a bloody nose followed by my Aunt Lil, shouting "Don't even think about it sonny jim!".

Your life was just like when they do one of those comedy episodes of Eastenders! Peggy always beats someone up, and someone gets called a slaaaaag.

Excellent.

I come from the classiest of east end families I have to admit.

You should here my Grandad stories.

You should hear my East End Grandad! He's convinced that he was a ringer for The Kray twins when he was younger. He wasn't though!

My Nan used to work with The Kray's mum!

Oh and you know that infamous East End hardnut, Lenny McClean? My mum was in his sister's gang, but that was only so she didn't get beaten up herself!

My Grandad bought me a money box when I was five. It was a yellow safe with a green lock. He took me into a pub and said "Alright lads, this is my grand daughters first money box. I want her saving for the future so she can become a great doctor. Cough up!" and took me all around this oldies who cooed and ahhed at me and stuck loads of money in. Some were even pushing in notes! He then took me to the park and we opened it up. He kept all the notes and I had the coins. We went to the off licence and bought sweets and booze.
