As a little kid, I thought how unfair it was that some people only got 1 bottle of milk, others 2,3 etc.

So I would make sure they all got equal.

Back then I lived in a large house with an enormous drive. My father used to store cars along the drive. It was my job as an 8 year old to start them all up and run each the length of the drive every weekend (To stop brakes, clutches seizing. Keep battery topped up etc) Big old Humbers, Zephers etc. But my favourite being the Mk 10 Jag with its cocktail cabinet in the back.

Also being responsible for shooting strays.

Not being big enough to push the clutch/brake on the old Fordson Major we used. My dad cut the back out of an Anglia. Much fun flying over fields with bales in the back. But if ever it got stuck wait for dad to get home to pull us out. Much easier when we got a little fergy 35.
