RIGSBY Hmm. Never went, of course. We were a very poor family. My environment was against me. Never stood a chance at the interview - not in gumboots. ALAN

RIGSBY Nothing, when its raining. In the middle of a heatwave they look rather ridiculous. Very poor, you see. Couldn't afford proper shoes, and wearing gumboots right through the year - it branded you... especially round the back of the leg. And children can be very cruel, they used to pour water in them. I used to spend most of the day squelching round the class room. No, never stood a chance. They gave my place to a chap named Porter. His parents had money. They took him up in an aeroplane to cure his whooping cough... all I got was a walk around the gasworks. |
