Early 60s late july , 15 year old lad , just started workin at mill and first pay packet in pocket. Decides to take his new girlfriend up park for a romantic row on the lake , and a stroll around the after (Carolyn 18 gorgeous and too classy for me).
Everythin going better than I hoped.
As the sun was setting we ended up in the bushes and me thinkin it was xmas. All of a sudden the bushes part and a guy is stood there giving himself some attention .
After leaving in a hurry we get to the park gate and some young thug probably ex Audley secondary modern jump out cracks me with a lump of wood takes my wallet and Carolyns purse and legs it.
"And you telt young people today and they wouldnt believe you"
Now I know it was only Queens and not Corporation park but to my mind thats parks the world over.
