Children - Run away if you see this sign
You might think it is play, but they are up to something.
----------------------
Living conditions in the London flat were not ideal for a small boy aged eight in 1965, who was perhaps a little energetic and at times could get in the way. I thought everything was running smoothly, the only slight problem were several wet beds. After the upsets over the last few months, I was having difficulty in getting back to normal.
I was taken to the doctor who lived next door to us. As I had not had any major illnesses, other than a few colds, the number of visits to doctors had been few in number. I was not upset when my mother mentioned to the doctor about my bedwetting. As nothing had been said about us at the boarding school often having wet beds, I told the doctor that I was not upset, when she questioned me over how I felt about matter. After checking me over, I was sent into a small room whilst the doctor talked to my mother alone.
At the time I had little idea that my mother was planning a change in my life.
A few days later I was told there was a minor change going to take place.
For one day a week I would not go to the school I had just started, but to a different school where they would try and see if I was unhappy in any way.
I was told that I was to be taken to the school first thing in the morning, as I would be having school lunches and collected at the end of the afternoon. there did not seem to anything really different to my normal school day.
The new school I now attended for one day a week was a short bus ride from where we lived. I was not afraid of now going to another school, once through the main door I was left with the school staff. I had expected it to be full of other children, but I was soon told that there were usually around fifteen of us and we were normally split into groups of five or six of us.
On my first visit, the morning was spent with a lady asking me various questions on how happy I was, what did l like playing with and several other similar matters.
The afternoon I would be able to join the others.
