    Any young Chinese boy would claim to be related to Bruce Lee, it stopped them getting beaten up.

    We used to have snuff sniffing contests but the snuff was replaced with powders found in the kitchen. So you'd start with an easy cinnamon or a nutmeg and then gradually work up to the chilli and curry powders.

    First one to sneeze or refuse the snuff was out.

    Washing powder was the ultimate challenge (and probably the most unsafe).

    I helped to get rid of weeds in the garden. I mixed weed killer and sugar together and spread it over the weeds. I then set light to it. One very black garden.

    We also used to do the alchemy thing with various household chemicals.

    Yeah my finger! My thumb actually and almost half of my hand.

    You may remember a TV programme called 'The boy David' who had a flesh eating decease? He was in the UK at the time and I was lucky enough to have his surgeon operate on my hand. That was in the early eighties.

    Scars are still there but you'd hardly know, I'm very thankful.
