Memories

Years ago I did some work with a bloke who had been a prolific, but not a particularly successful bank robber. By his own lights, he was poor at it because he spent so long banged up. He had been involved in a lot of nasty stuff over the years but set up a charity to help offenders to reform. He also got an OBE and is an OU graduate (Hiya Bobby, how are you doing brother? He called everyone 'brother'). When I knew him he was a charming guy, less so when he was younger.

He came to mind because I was cosplaying Bobby when I went to the shop - I'm old enough to remember when we'd look sideways at people who wandered around shops with their face covered.........
