This is a personal memoir about growing up in Yorkshire in
the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and later. It is not always about Yorkshire, nor is
it entirely memoir, but most of it is. Names and other details have been changed to avoid difficulties. This page lists and links all posts roughly in chronological order (rather than by posting date).
Some items recall people and experiences, others try to give things a humorous
slant, and some are of the “look how the world has changed” kind. Among my favourites are Dad’s Thursday Helper and M Dunham Are Crap which remember my earliest times and Uncle Jimmy which is
more journalistic. I enjoyed researching and writing The Exorcist which I hope is at least mildly humorous. Lookin’ for a ‘Feet’ is more polemical. So far there are couple of stories which, although fictional, are
based on real-life situations, such as A Silly Christmas Love Story. Probably none of my posts are really
‘finished’ – they never are. As I said at the beginning, you think you are going to be the next Alan Bennett but soon come to realise you’re no
better writer than Tony.
