| I didn't come across this picture until 2005. It was probably taken after the one from Cousin Tony's Wedding. It was on a strip of 4 passport photos from a machine. I certainly wasn't planning any trips abroad - it never entered my mind. As this was long before the days when passport-size photos were required for anything other than passports, I can only assume that I wanted to try out the newly-introduced photo booths. I remember the fake-sheepskin jacket very well. I bought it in Millett's in Barnet High Street, while still working at Maw's. On finding the photos, I was very surprised to see that I was in a beardless phase at the time. It can't have lasted long. Not long after this was taken, I hit the road and embarked on my career as a dosser. |
