My mate tommy's mam died when he was young,he was brought up by a father who didn't have much time for him or his sister,both were a little wild due to the lack of adequate parenting,he was an incredible shoplifter,had a rip inside his blazer into which he slipped everything but the kitchen sink,we did a runner once out of woolworths when it was in pennywell,he was caught and got the cane at school I heard years later through the grapevine he was still in sunderland and had become an alcoholic.
